📝 Instructions

6 steps
1

Place the softened unsalted butter in a large mixing bowl.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the frosting.

6

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.
