- Start with a good quality vanilla extract: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your frosting.
- Use unsalted butter and bring it to room temperature: This will help the frosting to be smooth and creamy.
- Don't overbeat the frosting: Overbeating can make the frosting grainy.
- If you want a thicker frosting, chill it for a few hours before using it: This will help it to firm up.
- If you want a thinner frosting, add a little bit of milk or cream: This will help to thin it out.
- To decorate your brownies with frosting, use a piping bag or a spoon: You can also use a knife to spread the frosting on the brownies.
