Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.75 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Vanilla ice cream (softened)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, sift together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt to remove any clumps.
Step 3
Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the butter, about 1 cup at a time, mixing on low speed to prevent a cloud of powdered sugar.
Step 4
Once the dry ingredients are incorporated, gradually add the softened vanilla ice cream to the mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing on medium speed until smooth.
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
Step 6
If the frosting is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of softened ice cream until the desired consistency is achieved.
Step 7
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to soften slightly at room temperature before using.
