Steps:

  • Beat the icing sugar , butter and cocoa power together in a free standing electric mixer with a paddle attachment (or use a hald held electric whisk)on medium-slow speed until the mixture comes together and is well mixed .
  • Turn the mixerdown to slow speed. Add the milk to the butter mixture a couple of teaspoons at a time . Once all the milk has been incorporated , turn the mixer up to high speed. Continue beating until the frosting is light and fluffy , about 5 minutes . The longer the frosting is beaten, the fluffier and the lighter it becomes.

Tips:

  • To make sure your chocolate frosting is smooth and lump-free, be sure to use melted chocolate that has been cooled slightly before adding it to the other ingredients.
  • For a richer, more decadent frosting, use dark chocolate or a combination of dark and milk chocolate.
  • If you want a lighter, fluffier frosting, whip the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy before adding the chocolate.
  • For a vegan chocolate frosting, use coconut oil or vegan butter instead of butter, and almond milk or soy milk instead of milk.
  • To make a chocolate ganache frosting, heat equal parts chocolate and heavy cream together until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • For a chocolate buttercream frosting, beat butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk together until light and fluffy.
  • To make a chocolate cream cheese frosting, beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder together until light and fluffy.
  • To make a chocolate whipped cream frosting, whip heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form, then fold in melted chocolate.
  • To decorate your cakes and cupcakes with chocolate frosting, use a piping bag fitted with a star tip or a round tip.
  • To make chocolate frosting ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
