Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream
- 4 ounces dark chocolate 60% or higher), melted, Ghirardelli brand
Instructions
- In a stand mixer using the whisk attachment, cream the butter for 2-3 minutes until it is almost white in appearance.
- Add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, 1 cup at a time, while mixing on low speed. Cover the mixer with a dish towel, if needed, to prevent powdered sugar from blowing out of the bowl.
- Add in the salt and vanilla. Continue mixing on low and add the heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time.
- With the mixer still running, drizzle in the melted chocolate, allowing it to mix in completely. Turn the mixer to medium and beat for 1-3 minutes, until the buttercream is light and fluffy.
- Store in an airtight container.
