Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Carob powder
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Milk (or non-dairy alternative)
Directions
Step 1
Allow the unsalted butter to come to room temperature. This makes it easier to cream and ensures a smooth frosting texture.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until it becomes light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the carob powder and mix on low speed until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 4
Gradually add the powdered sugar, about half a cup at a time, mixing on low speed to avoid spills. Scrape down the sides as needed and ensure the texture remains smooth.
Step 5
Mix in the vanilla extract and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the flavors.
Step 6
Slowly add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, while mixing on medium speed. Continue adding milk until the frosting reaches the desired consistency. You may use less or more milk depending on whether you prefer a thicker or thinner frosting.
Step 7
Once all ingredients are well combined, increase the mixer to high speed and beat for an additional 1-2 minutes to achieve a light and fluffy texture.
Step 8
Use immediately to frost your cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Allow it to come back to room temperature and mix briefly before use if chilled.
