How to Make Perfect Chocolate Frosting
- In a medium mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and 8 ounces of melted high-quality dark chocolate using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and well combined.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low. Gradually add 4 cups of powdered sugar, alternating with 1/4 cup of milk (or more, as needed), until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and beat on medium speed until the frosting is light, fluffy, and completely smooth and creamy.
