Creamy Chocolate Frosting

1. Melt Chocolate

Start by melting the chocolate. You can use a microwave or a double boiler for this step. Ensure that the chocolate is smooth and warm, with no lumps remaining.

2. Mix Sour Cream

Once the chocolate is melted, gradually stir in the sour cream in three batches. Use a spatula to fold it in gently. This step ensures an even mix and a smooth, rich consistency without any white streaks.

3. Prepare Butter Mixture

In a large bowl, beat the room temperature butter, confectioners’ sugar, and a generous pinch of salt using an electric mixer. Mix for about five minutes until the mixture becomes fluffy and almost pure white.

4. Combine Chocolate and Butter Mixtures

Now, slowly add the melted chocolate and sour cream mixture to the butter mixture, keeping your mixer on low speed. This allows the ingredients to blend smoothly without losing the airiness you've worked on.

5. Final Beating

Finally, turn your mixer to high speed and beat the frosting for about two minutes until it is super fluffy and looks utterly delicious. This final beating incorporates even more air, making the frosting as light and airy as possible.
