How to Make Chocolate Marshmallow Frosting

  1. In a large mixing bowl, sift together 2 cups powdered sugar and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
  2. In a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, combine 1 (11 ounce) jar marshmallow creme, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, and ¼ cup milk.
  3. Stir constantly until the butter and marshmallow creme are completely melted and smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Gradually pour the sifted sugar-cocoa mixture into the melted marshmallow mixture, stirring constantly to combine. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Continue stirring until the frosting is smooth, satiny, and reaches your desired consistency. Add a tablespoon of milk at a time if needed to thin.
