How to Make Delish Fluffy Chocolate Frosting

  1. In a large, clean bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form. Gradually add 1 ½ cups powdered sugar, beating on low speed until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the egg white mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites. Start with half the chocolate mixture, fold until just combined, then add the remaining half and fold gently again.
  4. Frost your favorite baked goods and enjoy! Store leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
