Ingredients
 

  • 4 tablespoons butter (softened)
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tablespoons whole milk or cream

Instructions
 

  • Using a stand mixer or handheld mixer, mix together the butter, cocoa and salt until smooth. Then add in the powdered sugar and beat on low. Add in the vanilla and 1 tablespoon of milk. Add more milk ½ tablespoon at a time if needed for desired consistency. Mix for 1-2 minutes longer, until smooth and fluffy.
  • Spread evenly on brownies. (This frosting is enough to frost an 8x8 pan of brownies.)
