The Perfect Chocolate Fudge Frosting Recipe 🤩 This seven-ingredient recipe is @Lisa Thompson’s secret to the most delicious, fluffy buttercream frosting. Full recipe below! INGREDIENTS: 6 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate, roughly chopped 3 sticks unsalted butter, softened 3 cups organic powdered sugar 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt 3 tablespoons cold heavy cream MELT THE CHOCOLATE: 1. Bring a few inches of water to a rapid simmer in a small pot over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and place a heatproof bowl overtop. Add chopped chocolate and let melt until completely smooth. Let cool for about 10-15 minutes. MAKE THE FROSTING: 1. Add softened butter to the bowl of an electric mixer (or a large mixing bowl if using a hand mixer) fitted with the paddle attachment. Sift organic powdered sugar and cocoa powder together over the butter. Add the vanilla extract and salt. Stir on low speed until all of the dry ingredients have been absorbed, then increase speed to medium (number 6 on a Kitchenaid) and beat for about 3 minutes, until fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. 2. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the melted chocolate and beat on low speed until well incorporated. Add cold heavy cream and beat on medium speed until very fluffy. The mixture will be a light cocoa color and have the consistency of whipped cream. Taste and add more salt or vanilla extract, if desired. 3. You can make the chocolate fudge frosting about 3 days in advance. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When ready to use, run the sealed container under warm water or microwave on medium power for about 20-30 seconds, then return to the stand mixer and beat until fluffy and smooth again. #feedfeed #chocolatefrosting #frosting #icing #easyrecipe #buttercream #cakes #cupcakes #cupcakedecorating #cakedecorating #buttercreamfrosting #chocolatebuttercream #chocolatefudgefrosting #chocolatefrostingrecipe #buttercreamrecipe #frostingrecipe #baketok #baking
