Chocolate Frosting
A velvety and fudgy chocolate buttercream frosting
Ingredients
- 6 ounces dark or semi-sweet chocolate
- 1 cup unsalted butter [room temperature]
- 3 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons chocolate extract optional
- pinch sea salt
- 3 - 4 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Use a double boiler to melt your chocolate, set aside to cool.
- Beat the butter until smooth and creamy.
- Beat in the powdered sugar one cup at a time, mixing until just combined. The powdered sugar and butter will look clumpy, that is normal.
- Continue beating and drizzle in the chocolate.
- Mix in the extracts and salt. Beat until just combined.
- Add in the heavy cream one tablespoon at a time until it reached a creamy consistency.
