CHOCOLATE AMERICAN BUTTERCREAM

Categories     dessert

Time 15m

Yield 2 cups (enough for 12 cupcakes)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch fine salt
4 cups confectioners' sugar (1-pound box)
6 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Combine the butter and cocoa powder in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using a handheld electric mixer). Mix on low speed until combined. Add the vanilla and salt. Continue to mix on low speed, adding the sugar a cup at a time and alternating with additions of the milk. Increase the speed to medium-high and mix until smooth. Use immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days. Allow to come to room temperature and mix on medium-high until smooth.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of the buttercream. Use a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao and has a rich, deep flavor.
  • Bring the butter and cream cheese to room temperature: This will help them mix together smoothly and create a light and fluffy buttercream.
  • Beat the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy: This will take a few minutes, but it's important to be patient. The more you beat the butter and cream cheese, the lighter and fluffier the buttercream will be.
  • Add the chocolate gradually: Add the melted chocolate to the buttercream mixture in small increments, mixing well after each addition. This will help prevent the chocolate from seizing.
  • Chill the buttercream before using: This will help it firm up and make it easier to use. You can chill the buttercream for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

Conclusion:

This rich chocolate buttercream is the perfect frosting for any chocolate lover. It's easy to make and can be used to frost cakes, cupcakes, or even just eaten by the spoonful. With its smooth, creamy texture and deep chocolate flavor, this buttercream is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
