Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 4 cups (sifted) powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Place the softened unsalted butter in a large mixing bowl.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing on low speed to prevent a sugar cloud. After each addition, increase the speed to medium and beat until fully combined.
Add the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt. Beat on medium-high speed for another 2-3 minutes until the frosting is smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more heavy cream (1 teaspoon at a time) if needed.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the frosting.
Use immediately to frost cupcakes, cakes, or cookies. If not using right away, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature and re-whip if chilled.
