I used my buttercream dream icing recipe to create a chocolate buttercream icing. I didn’t like chocolate buttercream with cocoa added b/c of the grainy taste/texture. So I used chocolate candy melts and it tastes so much better than using cocoa.
Chocolate Buttercream Dream
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter (unsalted)
- 1 stick butter (salted)
- 1 cup shortening
- 2lb bag of confectioner’s sugar
- 3 teaspoons of clear vanilla extract
- 5-6 tablespoons of milk (cold)
- 1lb bag of milk chocolate candy melts
- Chocolate lorann oil
Instructions
Cream butter and shortening. Add clear vanilla extract then add confectioner’s sugar. Allow confectioner’s sugar to blend well then add milk. For thinner consistency, add more than 6 tablespoons of milk.
-
- After icing recipe is well blended, slowly add melted chocolate to the buttercream icing while your mixer is running. Then I usually add two caps of the chocolate lorann oil.
-
- If mixture doesn’t look brown enough or look like chocolate, add 1-2 drops of color paste. I used Americolor chocolate color paste.
