Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams milk chocolate chips
- 170 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 240 grams powdered sugar
- 60 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Place the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each interval, until completely melted and smooth. Allow the melted chocolate to cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter using an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, beating on low speed initially to avoid a sugar cloud. Increase to medium speed and continue beating until well incorporated, about another 2 minutes.
Add the cooled melted chocolate to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and uniform in color.
Pour in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on low speed to incorporate, then increase to high speed for about 3-4 minutes, or until the frosting is fluffy and light.
Taste the frosting and adjust the salt or sweetness if needed by adding a pinch more salt or powdered sugar.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts. If not using right away, cover and refrigerate. Allow to come to room temperature and re-whip before using.
