Ingredients 

  • 1 1/2 cups (340 g) Salted Butter
  • 2 3/4 cups (468 g) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 1/2 cup (360 g) Heavy Cream
  • 1 1/2 cup (188 g) Powdered Sugar, (sifted)
  • 1/4 cup (21 g) Cocoa Powder, (sifted)
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) Corn Syrup
  • 1 tbsp (15 g) Vanilla Bean Paste
  • Pinch Kosher Salt

Instructions 

  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add chocolate chips and heavy cream. Stir until warmed throughout and all of the chocolate chips are fully melted. Stir constantly to prevent the chocolate from burning on the bottom of the pan, this will take about 5-7 minutes. 1 1/2 cups Salted Butter 2 3/4 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips 1 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • Once everything is fully melted combined, remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, corn syrup, vanilla bean paste, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth, about 20-30 seconds.  1 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder 1/4 cup Corn Syrup 1 tbsp Vanilla Bean Paste Pinch Kosher Salt
  • Use a fine mesh sieve to strain the frosting into a 9×13 baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and allow it cool to room temperature, then place into the refrigerator for 30 minutes. It will thicken as it cools. Before using, fluff up with a whisk if needed.
