Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 10 tablespoons butter
  • 1 1/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 5 1/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instruction

  • Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Slowly mix in cocoa powder and stir until a thick paste forms.
  • Pour cocoa mixture into a large bowl, and alternate adding powdered sugar and milk, a little at a time, while mixing. Add in vanilla extract. If frosting is too thick, add more milk in a teaspoon at a time until desired texture is reached.
  • If using an electric mixer, turn speed to medium high and beat for 5 minutes. Otherwise, mix by hand. (Use those muscles!)
  • You are now ready to frost your cake, cupcakes, cookies… or to eat by the spoonful. No judgement here.
