CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM
6 Tbsp. butter, softened (I use Land O'Lakes salted)
Dash salt (I use Celtic sea salt)
1 tsp. vanilla (I use Adam's Best)
2 2/3 c. powdered sugar
1/2 to 3/4 c. cocoa powder (I use Hershey's dark)
1/3 c. milk OR 1/4 c. heavy cream + water to equal 1/3 c.
Beat butter, salt and vanilla. Add powdered sugar and cocoa (I stir them together in a bowl first) alternately with milk/cream with the mixer on. Beat to desired consistency, adding milk/cream if needed. Yield: about 2 cups
Delicious on cake! Also good for dipping cookies. I especially like to eat it with GF chocolate animal crackers. And don't underestimate eating a bite or two (or more!) by itself ;)
