Equipment
- Microwave or double boiler
Ingredients
- 2 cups of softened unsalted butter
- 2 ½ cups of sifted powdered sugar
- 1 ¼ cup of dark chocolate powder you can also use Dutch-processed cocoa powder!
- ½ cup of room temperature full fat, sour cream
- ½ cup of hot water
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
- 10 ounces of 60-70% dark chocolate
Instructions
- Step 1
- Chop the chocolate and melt it, either in the microwave or over a double boiler and set it aside to cool.
- Step 2
- Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment beat butter until it lights up in color and is creamy. This will take about 5 minutes.
- Step 3
- Sift in the powdered sugar with the dark chocolate powder and continue mixing.
- Step 4
- Add the sour cream, hot water, and vanilla on low speed until all the liquids are combined thoroughly. Scrape the sides of the bowl so that everything is incorporated. Do not be scared if it looks a bit curdly.
- Step 5
- Beat on medium to high until smooth, which will take 2 to 3 more minutes.
- Step 6
- Add the lukewarm melted chocolate and mix until it is smooth and glossy.
- Step 7
- Use it immediately! You only have 30 minutes until it begins to harden. We do not recommend you make it ahead of time.
Notes
Get creative with these frostings. We love to add sprinkles on top of them to get a more festive look. We have even gone as far as adding more chocolate chips on top to get some extra chocolate goodness.
