Hi Sugar Babies!
Today we have a recipe for you! This chocolate icing is awesome, and pro tip: starting with a chocolate buttercream makes black icing easier to achieve! Perfect for Halloween :).
Check it out below:
Sharon’s Chocolate Buttercream
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups hi ratio shortening
- 2.5 cups salted butter softened
- splash of vanilla
- 5 pounds powdered sugar
- hot coffee creamer (adjust the amount as needed)
- powdered cocoa (amount as desired)
Directions
Cream the butter, shortening and vanilla. Dump cocoa in amount as desired. I go for dark brown. Stream in powdered sugar and add hot creamer liquid as needed, to get the desired consistency.
It’s that easy! Hope you try it. Let me know what you think.
Notes
Fine at room temperature for several days. May be refrigerated or frozen as well. This is a crusting icing.
Happy Caking,
Sharon
Hi Sharon it’s me Pam when an ingredient calls for 2.5 cups does that mean 2 and 1/2 cups? Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you
