Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2.5 cups powdered sugar
- 0.75 cup cocoa powder
- 4 tablespoons milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 jar marshmallow creme
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the unsalted butter until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add the cocoa powder and mix on medium speed until fully incorporated and smooth.
Slowly pour in the milk, one tablespoon at a time, mixing between additions until the desired consistency is reached.
Add the vanilla extract and mix for another 30 seconds to combine.
Gently fold in the marshmallow creme using a spatula until the mixture is light and fluffy. Avoid overmixing to maintain the airy texture.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other baked goods. If not using right away, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 hours.
