When I first started baking I thought making your own frosting would be really hard.
As it turns out, I was very naive. Making your own frosting is not hard at all! It is actually quite fun.
Most frosting recipes only call for about 5 ingredients, and it’s usually things you have around anyways. And they are fun recipes because you can improvise on what you have, and what you like.
This chocolate frosting recipe is the one I used on the organic banana cookies.
Chocolate Frosting
Ingredients
- 1 stick organic unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup organic cocoa powder
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup organic milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
To Make the Frosting:
- Melt the butter and whisk in the cocoa powder.
- Then all you have to do is alternate adding powdered sugar and milk. You may not need to use 3 full cups of powdered sugar.
See how easy that is? And it tastes way better then the stuff in grocery stores!
