Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 1/4 cup whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup baking chocolate or chocolate chips I used semi-sweet
Instructions
- Place the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer. Whip on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the butter is light and fluffy. Then add whipping cream, salt, and vanilla. Mix until combined. Add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time. Start at a low speed until the sugar is incorporated and then increase the speed as needed. Mix until fully combined and the mixture forms almost stiff peaks.
- Melt the chocolate by placing it in a microwave-safe dish and microwaving it in 30 second intervals until it is melted. Stir extremely well between each interval.
- Allow the chocolate to cool, but not so much that it hardens again. Add to the frosting mixture and stir until combined.
Notes
- Recipe from https://veenaazmanov.com/buttercream-frosting-recipe/
- Makes about 4 cups of frosting - enough frosting for 24 cupcakes.
- If your frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar. If it is too thick, add a little milk.
