Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Mix in the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and salt. Beat on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy. 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 cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. The frosting can also be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Bring it to room temperature and re-whip before using.
