Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 cup Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating on low speed to combine. Once combined, increase to medium speed and beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Beat on medium-high speed until the buttercream is smooth and has reached your desired consistency. If it's too thick, you can add 1 more tablespoon of heavy cream.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the buttercream.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
