Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 4 | tablespoons butter |
| 1 1/2 | cups icing sugar |
| 1 | teaspoon vanilla |
| 3 | ounces chocolate |
| 1/4 | teaspoon salt |
| 2 | egg whites |
Instructions:
-
Cream Butter: In a mixing bowl, cream the butter until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
-
Blend Sugar: Gradually add 3/4 cup of icing sugar to the butter, continuing to blend until well incorporated. The mixture should be smooth and fluffy.
-
Add Flavor: Mix in the vanilla extract, melted chocolate, and salt until fully combined, ensuring a uniform chocolate flavor throughout.
-
Beat Egg Whites: In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites using a hand mixer or stand mixer until they form stiff peaks. This step may take a few minutes, so be patient.
-
Incorporate Sugar: Gradually add the remaining 3/4 cup of icing sugar to the beaten egg whites, a small amount at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until the mixture reaches stiff peaks and holds its shape.
-
Fold Mixture: Gently fold the beaten egg white mixture into the chocolate mixture using a spatula. Carefully combine the two mixtures until they are evenly blended, taking care not to deflate the egg whites.
-
Serve: Your Chocolate Fluff Icing is now ready to be enjoyed! Use it to generously frost your favorite cakes or cupcakes, spreading it evenly for a delightful finishing touch.

Storage: Store any leftover icing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before using, allow the icing to come to room temperature and give it a quick stir to restore its fluffy texture.
