Ingredients
- 1/2 cups butter melted
- 2/3 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Once butter is melted, stir in cocoa and mix until butter and cocoa have combined.
- Next, using an electric mixer, alternately add powdered sugar and cream, beating until light and fluffy. Add in vanilla and mix well.
- Add an extra teaspoon of cream if a thinner consistency is desired. If frosting seems too thin, add additional powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Spread or pipe onto cakes or cupcakes as desired.
Notes
- Milk can be used in place of heavy cream.
- Recipe adapted from Hershey's.
