Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Whole milk
- 12 ounces Dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
Step 3
Mix in the vanilla extract and whole milk. Beat on high speed for 2 more minutes until completely combined. The mixture should have the consistency of a soft dough.
Step 4
Using your hands, roll teaspoon-sized portions of the buttercream mixture into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 5
Once all the buttercream balls are formed, transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour, or until firm.
Step 6
Melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.
Step 7
Remove the chilled buttercream balls from the refrigerator. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing it back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 8
Let the chocolate-covered butter creams set at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate them for 15 minutes for faster setting.
Step 9
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the butter creams to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
