3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
7 tablespoons one-percent milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Combine the powdered sugar and cocoa together in the food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the milk, butter, melted chocolate, and vanilla, and pocess untill smooth.

Notes

I don't recommend measuring out the milk over the hole in the top of the food processor... you might get a little crazy and spill some extra milk in which will make your icing too thin. This may or may not have happened to me 😉

I used dutch processed cocoa powder and would recommend it. You can use traditional but your icing won't be as dark as mine.
