Hi all,

I have a batch of left over reg. buttercream from my last cake which was 2 days ago. How can I convert that buttercream into chocolate buttercream? I will be using it as a filling for this next cake.

Any tips will help!
thanks

Just add cocoa powder or melted unsweetened chocolate to it. If you use cocoa remember to add milk or water a little at a time to bring it to the consistency you want. And sift your cocoa.

When you add your cocoa it will make a light brown color. If you want a darker color than just add some brown food coloring to the frosting.

i add cocoa powder and more water to my regular buttercream. i start with 3 tbls of cocoa and add more after..depending on how chocolity i want it.
