Best Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
- 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup Ovaltine
Instructions
For the brownies:
- Prepare brownies according to box directions and let cool completely.
- In the bowl of your mixer combine coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and powdered sugar until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Spread coconut mixture over brownies.
- Spread frosting over the coconut mixture. Refrigerate.
- Enjoy!
For the frosting:
- Cream together butter, cocoa powder and salt. Butter mixture will be very thick.
- Turn off the mixer, scrape down the sides of the bowl and add powdered sugar. Turn mixer on low and mix in powdered sugar while adding milk and vanilla extract. As the sugar incorporates, raise the speed of the mixer to beat the frosting. Beat until smooth.
- In a 1-cup measuring glass, stir together heavy cream and Ovaltine. Turn mixer speed to medium and pour cream mixture into frosting in a slow, steady stream, until you’ve reached your desired consistency. You may not need the full amount of Ovaltine and cream.
- Spread or pipe onto cupcakes. Yuuuuuuuuum!!
