Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 3 cups Powdered sugar (sifted)
• 6 oz Milk chocolate (chopped)
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp Heavy cream (optional, for consistency)

Directions

Step 1

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped milk chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully melted. Allow it to cool slightly while preparing the other ingredients.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Gradually add the powdered sugar to the butter, 1/2 cup at a time, beating on low speed until fully incorporated before adding more.

Step 4

Pour the slightly cooled melted milk chocolate into the butter and sugar mixture. Mix on medium speed until well combined.

Step 5

Add the vanilla extract and beat until incorporated.

Step 6

If the frosting is too thick, add the heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, and beat until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 7

Frost your cooled cakes, cupcakes, or cookies immediately, or store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-whip before using.
