PERFECT CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING



Perfect Chocolate Buttercream Frosting image

A nice, creamy butter frosing. I got this from a Hershey can of cocoa and have made it many times when I want a chocolate frosting. It is extra good and you can regulate the amount of chocolate you have in it. In the recipe below you will find three different amounts of cocoa. You choose what you like--will it be light flavor, medium flavor, or dark flavor? But only use one of the amounts of cocoa.

Time 10m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons soft butter
2 2/3 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup hershey's cocoa (light flavor)
1/2 cup hershey's cocoa (medium flavor)
3/4 cup hershey's cocoa (dark flavor)
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • In a medium-sized bowl, beat the butter till creamy.
  • Add the confectioners sugar and cocoa alternately with the milk.
  • Beat to spreading consistency--additional milk may be needed; add sparingly.
  • Beat in the vanilla.

Tips:

  • Use real, high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will give you a rich, chocolatey frosting, while milk chocolate will give you a sweeter, milder flavor.
  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature before you start mixing. This will help it cream together with the sugar more easily and give you a smooth, fluffy frosting.
  • Don't overbeat the frosting. Overbeating can cause it to become grainy and stiff. Mix it just until it is smooth and creamy.
  • If you want a thicker frosting, chill it for a bit before using. This will help it firm up and hold its shape better.
  • If you want a thinner frosting, add a little bit of milk or cream. This will help it loosen up and make it easier to spread.
  • Get creative with your frosting! You can add different flavors, colors, and decorations to make it your own. Some popular variations include vanilla buttercream, chocolate mint buttercream, and red velvet buttercream.

Conclusion:

Chocolate buttercream frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced baker, this frosting is sure to be a hit!
