Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup salted butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup dry brownie mix
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, add the room temperature salted butter. Using your electric mixer, beat it on medium speed until it’s light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Gradually add the dry brownie mix to the creamed butter. Beat the mixture on low speed to avoid a cloud of cocoa powder, then increase the speed to medium and mix until well combined.
  3. Sift the powdered sugar into the bowl to prevent lumps. Beat it into the brownie mixture on low speed until fully combined.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and mix on medium speed until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.
  5. Taste your frosting and adjust sweetness or richness as desired by adding more powdered sugar or a pinch of salt.

Notes

  • Store frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • To restore spreadability after refrigeration, whip in a little more heavy cream.
  • This frosting can be frozen for up to three months; thaw in the fridge overnight before using.
