Made 1/2 the recipe to frost 12 cupcakes. The flavor is rich and delicious, but not too sweet, was the perfect consistency to pipe, and made the right amount for what I needed with little to waste.

Hi Emma! The weights are what I personally used so yes I would recommend using the weight listed. Enjoy!

Is the weight for cocoa powder incorrect? I came across a recipe for same frosting, used 2/3 C cocoa powder and was listed as only 54g. And when I weighed 1/2 C myself, I only got 40g

Hi Fran! A little espresso powder will work fine. I would probably start with just a pinch and add more as desired. 🙂

Simple and delicious. I like this much better than teeth achingly sweet buttercream. This recipe is a keeper!

I haven’t made this as yet, hence no rating. However, I want to and was wondering if you can also add a little espresso powder? If so, how much would you suggest? (I just made the vanilla frosting and it us delicious!)

This frosting was so delicious. I had leftovers and I ended up using it as a hot fudge topping for my ice cream. I simply heated it up just enough to pour onto the ice cream. This will now be my go to hot fudge topping instead of buying the store bought high fructose coen syrup topping in a jar.

Happy with the results! I cut the powdered sugar to 1-1/2 cups. Good flavor. Refrigerated the frosted cake to get the icing to set/harden up. Will use this recipe again.

I would add 1/2 cup less powdered sugar next time.
I also had to add 2.5 TB of almond milk to the frosting because it was way too thick!! Once I added the milk though, it was still a nice thickness but more like a frosting.

This is a touch sweet, even with 5% less sugar, but couldn’t be easier to make. Made it for a 3 layer gluten free chocolate cake, and it was the perfect match to an ultra light chocolate cake.

I made this chocolate cream cheese frosting for my chocolate cake tonight and it was absolutely delicious! I have a couple of picky eaters that usually scrape off the frosting but they are every bite of this one. so good!

Delicious, just tasted my beater. Going to spread it on my husband’s 70th bday cake. He loves a butter cake with chocolate frosting. I believe he is going to love this frosting.

Absolutely amazing, I used 40g of sugar less than what the recipe called for and it came out just right. I’d add a bit of coffee to make the chocolate flavor that much better but it’s great as is.
It’s super thick and you can use it for a layered cake without any problem.
I love it!

In reply to Lucia.

Hi Lucia! I only recommend refrigerating this for 4-5 days. The taste and texture will remain the same. If you freeze it you will just want to let it sit at room temperature until it has thawed enough to use. It could potentially need to be whipped again briefly. 🙂

Very tasty and easy recipe! I was looking for a quick recipe w ingredients I had at home and this one came up perfect even without the chocolate. Kids loved the vanilla frosting they made themselves. (Tip: I Didn’t have powdered sugar so blended some regular granulated sugar until powdered)

Can I make extra frosting to use it next week? Does it last with good taste and texture in the fridge or freezer? Do you have any tips for defrosting?
