5-Minute Chocolate Buttercream Frosting image

Skip the store-bought frosting in favor of this easy recipe for the best chocolate buttercream frosting that takes just 5 minutes to make!

Provided by Kelly Senyei

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 1/3 cups confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until it is smooth, about 1 minute.
Add the confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder to the bowl and beat until combined. With the stand mixer running on low speed, slowly stream in the milk and vanilla extract then add the salt and continue beating until well combined, scraping down the sides as needed, about 2 minutes.
Increase the speed to high and beat the frosting for an additional 2 minutes. Use the frosting immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge. (If you refrigerate the frosting, you may want to re-blend it for a few seconds in the stand mixer before using it.)
