Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 4½ to 5 cups powdered sugar
• 4 Tablespoon cocoa
• 1 teaspoons vanilla
• 5 Tablespoons heavy cream or milk, I prefer heavy cream
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

• In a medium bowl combine butter, powdered sugar, cocoa, vanilla, cream/milk, and salt and beat for 5-7 minutes until light and fluffy.
• Add more powdered sugar to thicken and stiffen up frosting or more cream/milk to thin frosting out depending on use. If you are frosting cookies or a cake use less powdered sugar.
