Chocolate Buttercream Icing

Chocolate Buttercream Frosting – A buttery and chocolaty icing that can be used for filling or frosting cakes, cupcakes, brownies or cookies

 

 

Butter – 1 cup softened

Icing/Powdered Sugar – 3 – 3 ½ cups
Cocoa Powder – ½ cup
Salt – a pinch
Vanilla Extract – 1 tbsp
Milk – 4-5 Tbsp

How We do it:

The butter should not be melted just softened. It is advisable to use unsalted butter for the icing otherwise the icing can become too salty.

 

Cream the butter until very smooth. Sift the sugar, salt and cocoa and add  in batches into the butter mixing until it is well combined.

 

Now add the vanilla extract and the milk and beat again for a few minutes. If you want the icing to be more stiff you can add more powdered sugar.

 

For a thinner or creamier consistency, you can add more milk – a tablespoon at a time.

This frosting can easily be piped any way you want.
