Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
3 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup whole milk, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips, such as Ghirardelli
Directions
- In a medium bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the butter until light and smooth. Beat in the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Place the chocolate chips in a small bowl and place over a small pan of barely simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the melted chocolate to the vanilla frosting and stir until smooth.
