How to Make Extra Creamy Chocolate Icing
- In a large bowl, beat 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Gradually add 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, beating until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add 4 cups powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition until smooth and creamy.
- Melt 6 ounces of high-quality semi-sweet chocolate (chopped or using chocolate chips). Let it cool slightly.
- Add the melted chocolate to the icing and beat on low speed until completely combined and smooth. If the icing is too thick, add a tablespoon of heavy cream at a time until desired consistency is reached.
