Ingredients
Instructions
  1. On a double boiler, melt your butter, once has almost melted fully, add in your milk and whisk it together
  2. Now sift in your cocoa powder right on top of your butter / milk mixture, and whisk it again.
  3. Let this heat on the double boiler for about 5 minutes. You should notice that the mixture is now very well combined and also thicker. At this point remove your bowl from the heat ( double boiler )
  4. Now add in your vanilla and whisk it in.
  5. At this point switch over to an electric mixer and slowly sift in your powdered sugar. Once you have added all your powdered sugar, mix with your electric mixer until fluffy.
  6. This is a very forgiving recipe – you may add less powdered sugar to make a thinner chocolate frosting – OR – add more powdered sugar to make the frosting much thicker. The choice is yours. This recipe makes a medium consistency frosting good for the inside of a cake or frosting a cake.
