Frosting Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup (90g) mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring smooth texture for the frosting base.
- Add Flavor and Liquid: Mix in the salt, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is smooth and evenly incorporated.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually beat in the heat-treated all-purpose flour and powdered sugar until fully combined and creamy, forming the body of the frosting.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the frosting without breaking them.
- Adjust Consistency: If the frosting is too thick, add a splash more milk for spreading ease; if too soft, add a bit more powdered sugar to thicken.
- Use or Store: Use the frosting immediately to frost your cupcakes, cakes, or cookies, or store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Bring to room temperature before spreading for best results.
Notes
- Heat-treat flour by microwaving in a bowl for about 1 minute or baking at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to eliminate harmful bacteria. This step is crucial as raw flour should not be consumed untreated.
- This frosting is ideal for spreading but not suitable for piping intricate designs.
