Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar (you can add up to 1.5 cups more if you would like it firm)
  • ½ cup cocoa
  • 3-4 tablespoons milk
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment:

Measuring spoons and cup
1 large bowl (if using handheld electric whisk)
Electric whisk (preferable standing)

How to…..

Using an electric whisk, beat the butter until soft and creamy. Turn the mixer to low, and add the powdered sugar gradually and continue beating (cover with a kitchen towel so the sugar doesn’t get all over you). Turn the mixer to medium speed and continue beating. Then add the cocoa, vanilla and salt while continuing to beat. Gradually add the milk until you get the consistency you’re looking for. You may not need all the milk, or you may need slightly more.
