Servings 10
Cost 5
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter, softened (114 grams)
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (40 grams)
- ½ cup room temperature chocolate syrup
- 3 ¼ to 4 cups about 1 box of powdered sugar
- 2-4 tablespoons of milk
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the softened butter, cocoa powder and chocolate syrup. Beat on low speed with a handheld electric mixer until blended.
- Gradually add the sugar and a couple of tablespoons of the milk and the teaspoon of vanilla.
- Continue beating, adding milk as needed, until you get a smooth and glossy frosting.
Notes
If using unsalted butter, add a pinch or two of salt. I also recommend adding the powdered sugar gradually and taste testing after you've added the first 3 cups. You may not want all 4 cups.
