Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick; 113 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into pieces
- 4 cups (360 g) sifted confectioners' sugar (whisked before measuring; plus extra as needed)
- 4 ounces (115 g) unsweetened chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup (165 ml) lactose-free milk, preferably whole, (plus extra as needed)
Preparation:
-
In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add a quarter of the sugar gradually (do this by eye), beating until beginning to combine, about 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl once or twice.
-
Add remaining confectioners' sugar, melted chocolate, vanilla and milk and beat on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. Keep beating until smooth and satiny! Frosting is now ready to use and is best if used immediately. Adjust texture as needed by adding a bit more confectioners' sugar or milk. Frosting may be refrigerated in an airtight container for 4 days. (Bring to room temperature and re-beat very well after storing).
Notes:
IF YOU CAN TOLERATE
- Lactose: If you passed the lactose challenge, you can use regular dairy milk in lieu of the lactose-free milk.
