Ingredients

  • 115 g butter
  • 230 g cream cheese (plain)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 60 g cocoa powder
  • 380 g powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 1-4 tbsp milk

Instructions

  • Take the butter out of the fridge about 10 minutes before making the frosting.
    115 g butter
  • Add the slightly softened butter to a stand mixer and beat briefly. Alternatively, use a mixing bowl and a hand mixer.
  • Add the cold cream cheese and mix with the butter for about 30 seconds.
    230 g cream cheese
  • Add vanilla, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Mix on low speed until combined, then increase to medium speed and beat until slightly lighter and fluffy.
    1 tsp vanilla, 60 g cocoa powder, 380 g powdered sugar
  • Gradually add milk and mix until the desired consistency is reached. The frosting should hold its shape when piped but not be too stiff, as that would make piping difficult.
    1-4 tbsp milk

Notes

*Yield: 1 batch is enough to pipe frosting onto 18-20 cupcakes.
