CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

The most delicious and simple Chocolate Buttercream Frosting recipe! This chocolate frosting pipes great also.

Provided by Melissa Diamond

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 sticks (339g) unsalted butter, softened (do not soften butter in the microwave)
8 cups powdered sugar (icing sugar in UK) (920g) more if needed. ** For cupcakes, I like to use 7c. (805g) for a softer frosting
1 cup (82g) unsweeteded cocoa (not Dutch processed, measure then sift
3/4 (180g) milk plus 2 Tablespoons or more if needed to reach the spreading consistency you like
2 teaspoons vanilla (12 grams)
1 teaspoon salt (6g) we like the finer grain of plain popcorn salt, to cut the sweetness

Steps:

  • Add butter and mix on low to medium speed until smooth. Add vanilla and blend into the butter. Add powdered sugar, salt, and cocoa powder.
  • Add most of the milk. Begin mixing at low speed so you won't have a cloud of powdered sugar in your kitchen.
  • Continue to mix adding remaining milk as needed. It may take 5 to 6 minutes to reach the smoothness and consistency you like. It will take longer if using a hand mixer. As you mix the frosting will become very smooth. You can add additional milk (1 Tablespoon at a time) if the frosting is too thick or additional powdered sugar if too soft.

VINCENT PRICE'S CHOCOLATE BUTTER CREAM FROSTING



Vincent Price's Chocolate Butter Cream Frosting image

Posted by request, here is Vincent Price's blender-made butter cream from "A Treasury of Great Recipes." (Which is a highly recommended cookbook, by the way. Get yourself a copy!)

Provided by Julesong

Categories     Dessert

Time 5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 ounces semisweet chocolate pieces, at room temperature
1/2 cup hot coffee
4 egg yolks
2 tablespoons dark rum or 2 tablespoons brandy
1/2 cup butter, cut into smallish pieces and slightly softened

Steps:

  • Using your electric blender, blend together at high speed the hot coffee and the chocolate pieces (make sure the cover is on) for about 20 seconds or until smooth. (Mr. Price does not indicate what he means by "chocolate pieces" but I think semi-sweet chocolate chips would probably serve well.).
  • Add the egg yolks and dark rum or brandy, cover, and mix at high speed for about 10-15 seconds until the yolks are well incorporated.
  • With the blender running, individually drop in the pieces of butter. From Mr. Price: "If vortex ceases to form, break surface of mixture with a rubber spatula, being careful not to dip too deeply into the blades.".
  • You may needs to use a small rubber spatula to occasionally work the sides of the blender to make sure all the butter is incorporated.
  • When all butter is into the mixture, you should have enough butter cream to fill and frost an 8-inch layer cake. Final note from Mr. Price: "In very warm weather it may be necessary to chill the cream before spreading over a cake.".

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes     Fillings & Frostings     Buttercream Frosting Recipes

Yield Makes 10 cups (8 cups chocolate and 2 cups vanilla)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/4 cups sugar
9 large egg whites
4 cups (8 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into tablespoons
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled
Gel-paste food colors in pink and yellow

Steps:

  • In a heatproof mixer bowl set over a pot of simmering water, whisk together sugar and egg whites until sugar is dissolved and mixture is very warm to the touch, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Beat on medium speed until completely cooled and stiff peaks have formed, about 10 minutes.
  • With mixer on medium speed, add butter a few tablespoons at a time until completely combined. Add vanilla. Beat on low speed until smooth, about 5 minutes.
  • Measure out 2 cups vanilla buttercream; set aside. Add chocolate to remaining buttercream; mix on low until combined.
  • Divide reserved vanilla buttercream into thirds; tint one yellow and one pink. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons chocolate buttercream to the third to make a light brown for piping a contrasting border. Use immediately.

Tips:

  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature before you start. This will help it cream together with the sugar more easily and give you a smooth frosting.
  • If you don't have unsweetened cocoa powder, you can use Dutch-process cocoa powder. Just reduce the amount by 1/4 cup.
  • If you want a richer frosting, you can add 1/2 cup of melted chocolate to the frosting.
  • To make a chocolate ganache frosting, add 1/2 cup of heavy cream to the frosting and heat it over low heat until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • You can use this frosting to frost cakes, cupcakes, cookies, or brownies.

Conclusion:

Vincent Price's chocolate butter cream frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used to frost a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you are a fan of chocolate or just looking for a classic frosting recipe, this frosting is sure to please.
