Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups salted butter (at cool room temperature)
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I use Dutch-processed)
  • Pinch of salt

Instruction

  • In a small saucepan, whisk flour and milk together until well-combined.
  • Heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens.
  • Remove from heat, and let it cool to room temperature.*
  • Stir in vanilla.
  • While the mixture is cooling, cream the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt together until light and fluffy on medium high, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the completely cooled milk mixture.
  • Beat it for about 5 minutes on high until it looks like whipped cream. It may look separated at first, so keep beating it until it comes together and looks like a whipped cream.
  • If it looks separated after about 7 minutes of whipping, cover, and chill for about 30 minutes. Then, continue whipping for about 5 minutes, or until it looks like whipped cream.
