Fluffy Homemade Chocolate Frosting

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan (off of the stove), whisk sugar, flour and cocoa powder. Whisk in milk.
2. Place the sauce pan on the stove over medium heat and whisk until the mixture begins to bubble and thicken, about 5 minutes. Let boil 30 seconds.
3. Remove from the heat and pour the mixture into a bowl to cool. Place plastic wrap over the mixture allowing the wrap to rest on the surface of the chocolate. Refrigerate 1 hour.
4. Place the chocolate in a small bowl and place in the microwave at 50% power. Heat, stirring occasionally just until melted. Set aside to cool.
5. Cream butter with a hand mixer until fluffy. Add the cooled cocoa mixture a little bit at a time until incorporated. Add in the melted chocolate, vanilla and salt.
6. Mix on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 6 to 8 minutes.
