Browned Butter Chocolate Frosting
- Melt butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Cook until foamy and browned, about 5-8 minutes. Pour browned butter into a medium sized bowl and place in the refrigerator to firm up a bit to be able to work with it.
- When butter is semi-firm mix in powdered sugar and cocoa powder. It will be dry. Add vanilla and 3 T milk and beat. Continue to beat, adding more milk 1 T at a time until consistency is right for spreading.
