Hello, it's me, Jemma, and I'm going to show you my recipe for chocolate buttercream,
which is so simple and yummy and easy you're just going to be making it all the time, and
potentially just eating it on its own.
So you only need four ingredients, and I have got here 300 grams of softened butter,
make sure it's nice and squishy first, and
540 grams of sifted icing sugar,
about four tablespoons of milk,
and also I have melted
some lovely dark chocolate.
There's 180 grams in there, I just melted that over some hot water in a saucepan,
so I'm going to start by putting my butter in straight in the Bowl like that,
so that's 300 grams,
and
I'm just going to pop that on at quite high speed,
so medium to high, I'd say for about five minutes.
It's been going for about five minutes now,
and it's turned all pale and white and fluffy,
and so this is at the perfect stage to add the sugar,
which I've already sifted, and I'm going to add half of this first,
and then give it a bit of a whip.
So shovel it in.
Making a mess, and then turn on and start on a very low speed,
like so, and then when it all comes together,
turn up the speed to a medium to high speed,
and let it go for about three minutes.
So that has had about three minutes,
And so I'm going to shovel the rest of my sugar in
because it's all nice and fluffy in there, so
have the rest of it in
And do exactly the same thing again
so start slow, speed it up and let it go for about three minutes
okay, so it's time to put the milk in
so I'm just going to keep it in a really low speed
And just put in four tablespoons of milk
And then just turn it up and let it go for about two or three minutes
So it's now time to put the chocolate in
so just pop it down to a minimum speed
and then get your lovely lovely chocolate
Make sure it's still runny
But not hot in any way
because you don't want to melt your buttercream as it's churning in there,
so yeah
Just make sure it all goes in you don't waste any of this stuff
So to turn it up to a sort of low to medium speed
and let it do its thing for about two minutes.
Uh, hi
So once it's all mixed through
you do want to give it a bit of a scrape with a spatula because there will be some bits,
so
It's bachelor in there, and just give it a really good scrape around just to get all those bit
alright, and then just give it one last little blast
And then it's ready to eat
Okay, it's ready,
and it is smelling and looking amazing
and definitely
tasting amazing, and I'm gonna pop mine on a chocolate cupcake
and um
just going to grab a bit on my
spoon there, and
