Ingredients
Scale
Frosting Base
- 1 cup softened butter
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- â…” cup all-purpose flour (baked and cooled)
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp milk or cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Bake the flour: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the all-purpose flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 3-5 minutes to eliminate any bacteria. Remove from oven and let it cool completely before using.
- Mix butter and sugars: In a stand mixer or using a handheld mixer, beat together the softened butter, packed brown sugar, and salt on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add powdered sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar while mixing on low speed to avoid a sugar cloud, then increase to medium speed and beat for another minute until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Incorporate baked flour: Add the cooled baked flour to the mixture and mix first on low speed to combine, then increase to medium speed until the frosting is smooth and uniform.
- Finish with milk and vanilla: Pour in the milk or cream along with the vanilla extract, then beat the frosting until fluffy and well combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the frosting by hand to evenly distribute them without breaking.
Notes
- The flour must be baked to ensure it is safe to eat raw in the frosting.
- You can substitute milk with cream for a richer texture.
- This frosting is best used immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; bring to room temperature and re-whip before using.
- Perfect for cakes, cupcakes, or even as a dip for cookies.
- Do not overbeat once chocolate chips are added to maintain their shape and texture.
