If you’re looking for a rich, silky-smooth chocolate buttercream that’s not overly sweet, packed with deep chocolate flavor, and effortlessly spreadable, this recipe is for you.
The secret? Using real dark chocolate and salted butter, which enhance the flavor, plus a food processor to create an ultra-smooth, velvety texture in just minutes.
It’s faster than a stand mixer because you don’t need to wait for soft butter, and the result is a buttercream that comes together quickly and spreads beautifully over cakes.
One of the best things about this recipe is that you control the consistency.
The way you add the slightly cool or slightly warm chocolate to the butter determines whether your buttercream is thicker for piping or softer for effortless spreading.
However you choose to use it, this chocolate buttercream is simple, quick, and absolutely delicious.
