How to Make Simple Chocolate Frosting
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 tablespoon (14g) of unsalted butter and 1/2 ounce (14g) of unsweetened chocolate, chopped into small pieces.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth (approximately 45-60 seconds total).
- Set aside and allow to cool to room temperature. This prevents the powdered sugar from clumping.
- Once cooled, stir in 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- With an electric mixer on low speed, gradually beat in 3/4 cup (90g) of sifted powdered sugar.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons of milk (start with 1 and add more as needed), beating on low speed until combined.
- Increase the mixer speed to high and beat for 2-3 minutes, or until the frosting reaches your desired consistency (light and fluffy or thick and creamy).
- Spread generously over your favorite cake or cupcakes.
