Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 cups powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter by microwaving it in 10-15 second intervals until fully liquid. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 2

Add the unsweetened cocoa powder to the melted butter and whisk together until smooth and fully combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the powdered sugar, about half a cup at a time, to the cocoa mixture. Stir well to incorporate before adding more.

Step 4

As the mixture thickens, add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, to achieve a spreadable consistency. Stir thoroughly after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt for added depth of flavor and balance.

Step 6

Once the frosting reaches a creamy, spreadable texture, use immediately to frost cooled brownies. Spread it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 7

Let the frosting set for 10-15 minutes before slicing the brownies. Enjoy your decadent, chocolate-covered treat!
