How to Make Whipped Chocolate Frosting

  1. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream.
  2. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Refrigerate the chocolate mixture for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled and slightly thickened.
  4. In a large mixer bowl, beat 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  5. Gradually add the chilled chocolate mixture to the butter mixture, beating on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form and the frosting is light and airy.
  6. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
