Prep Time

10 minutes

Cook Time

0 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled

Equipment

  • Microwave or double boiler
  • Bowl
  • Electric mixer or whisk

Method

  1. Cream the butter in a large bowl using an electric mixer or whisk until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
  3. Add the melted and cooled chocolate to the bowl and mix until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
  4. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • Make sure the melted chocolate has cooled before adding it to the frosting, or it will melt the butter and make the frosting greasy.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a little more milk until you reach the desired consistency.
  • If the frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar until it thickens up.
