Main Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3 ½ cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

- ¼ teaspoon salt
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, beating on low speed until combined.
Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
If the frosting is too thick, add more heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
