This small-batch chocolate frosting is quick and easy. The perfect recipe for when you need chocolate buttercream frosting for one. It is pipeable and can be used on cupcakes, miniature cakes (like my individual chocolate cakes for two), a single serving brownie, or even to dip fruit into (I have definitely done this a time or two.
You don’t need a stove for this no cook frosting and you can even make it without a mixer. A mixer is faster and you will likely get a fluffier frosting. But if you are willing to take a little more time you can get a great result whisking by hand.
