Ingredients

  • 12 cup butter, softened (you can use margarine but the flavor will not be the same)
  • 2 23 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
  • 13 cup half-and-half cream (can use unwhipped whipping cream in place of half and half) or 13 cup milk (can use unwhipped whipping cream in place of half and half)
  • 1 12 teaspoons vanilla
  • 13 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted (for light)
  • 12 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted (for medium)
  • 34 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted (for dark rich)

Method

  • Cream the butter in a small bowl.
  • Blend in the cocoa powder (the amount desired for a light, medium or dark flavor), vanilla, confectioners sugar, alternately with the cream.
  • Beat with an electric mixer, until the desired texture is achieved.
  • **NOTE** because of the additional cocoa powder more cream may have to be added in to reach desired consistency.
