Hershey's Chocolate Frosting
Report
Hershey's chocolate frosting has been a staple in American kitchens for decades now—and for good reason. It's creamy and so very chocolatey. Made with butter, cocoa, powdered sugar sugar, milk, and vanilla, it's the perfect addition to their quintessential chocolate cake.

Ingredients
- 2 ticks (8 oz) unsalted butter melted
- 1 1/3 cups Hershey's cocoa
- 2 teaspoons instant espresso
- 3 1/3 cups confectioners' sugar
- Pinch salt
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a bowl, stir together the butter, cocoa, espresso powder, and salt.
- Add some of the confectioners’ sugar and then add some of the milk to the butter mixture, beating with a handheld electric mixer (see how handy it can be?!) after each addition. Continue to add the rest of the sugar and milk, alternating them, and beat until you achieve a thick but spreadable consistency.
- If a thinner frosting is desired, add more milk, a little at a time, until you’ve achieved your ideal texture. Stir in the vanilla.
Notes
- Don't overbeat--Beat the frosting until it has a smooth, spreadable texture. Do not overbeat it, as this will create air pockets in the frosting.
- Storage--Store the chocolate frosting in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Dietary--This recipe is suitable for gluten-free diets.
