Let me tell you about the dreamiest, fluffiest, most decadent chocolate custard buttercream you’ll ever taste. This buttercream is ultra-smooth and irresistibly delicious—a true showstopper for cakes, cupcakes, or any dessert you want to elevate.
What makes it so rich? It’s crafted with luscious egg yolks, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, and a touch of pressed cocoa powder.
The addition of coffee is pure magic—it deepens the chocolate flavor while gently balancing out the sweetness. And to bring it all home, it’s finished with velvety salted butter for that perfect balance.
This chocolate custard buttercream spreads like a dream. Whether you’re layering it between cake tiers or swirling it onto cupcakes, it’s an absolute delight to work with. The longer you whip, the lighter it becomes—giving you a stunning visual contrast, as you’ll see in the video. The top is darker and richer, while the base swirl is light and airy, showing just how beautifully this frosting transforms with time.
One thing is certain: it’s beyond delicious. The rich custard base combined with the chocolate and coffee creates a buttercream that’s smooth, indulgent, and utterly unforgettable. I hope you’ll love it as much as I do—once you try it, you’ll never look back!
