Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan and whisk in the cocoa powder then remove from the heat and let cool.
- Add the cooled chocolate mixer to your stand mixer and whip on medium speed adding the powdered sugar and sour cream, alternating them 1/3 at a time.
- Add the vanilla in last.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a bit more milk 1 tablespoon at a time. (Be careful with this, it's very easy to over-do it and make the frosting runny)
Variation
Use 2 (14oz) cans of sweetened condensed milk instead of powdered sugar. Add it in the same step powdered sugar would be added.
