🥘 Ingredients

5 items

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 3 cups Powdered sugar (sifted)
• 6 oz Milk chocolate (chopped)
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp Heavy cream (optional, for consistency)

📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped milk chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully melted. Allow it to cool slightly while preparing the other ingredients.

2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

3. Gradually add the powdered sugar to the butter, 1/2 cup at a time, beating on low speed until fully incorporated before adding more.

4. Pour the slightly cooled melted milk chocolate into the butter and sugar mixture. Mix on medium speed until well combined.

5. Add the vanilla extract and beat until incorporated.

6. If the frosting is too thick, add the heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, and beat until the desired consistency is achieved.

7. Frost your cooled cakes, cupcakes, or cookies immediately, or store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-whip before using.
