Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 170 grams marshmallow fluff
- 240 grams powdered sugar
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 60 milliliters heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Instructions
In a small, microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and completely melted. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly while preparing the other ingredients.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the marshmallow fluff to the butter and mix on low speed until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt to the mixture, beating on low speed to avoid clumps or mess. Once added, increase the speed to medium and mix until smooth and creamy.
Pour in the melted chocolate and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the frosting has a glossy texture.
Gradually add the heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, while mixing on medium speed. Adjust the cream quantity to achieve your desired frosting consistency.
Once all the ingredients are fully combined and fluffy, use the frosting immediately to spread or pipe onto your cake or cupcakes. If not using immediately, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 hours or refrigerate for longer storage.
