How to Make Fluffy Butter Cocoa Frosting
- In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups powdered sugar and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter using a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Gradually add ⅓ cup milk or heavy cream, beating on low speed until the frosting reaches your desired spreadable consistency. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed.
- Frost your cooled cakes, cookies, brownies, or any other delightful dessert!
- This frosting pairs perfectly with our moist fudgy cocoa brownies (recipe available separately).
