Описание: Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of all vegetable shortening
1 stick of butter
4 cups of powder sugar
1/4 cup of cocoa
2 tbsp of French vanilla coffee creamer

Instructions:
In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the vegetable shortening and butter.
To cream, beat on high 3 minutes, then turn the mixer off and scrape down the bowl.
Now repeat the process. Beat on high for 3 minutes, then turn the mixer off and scrap down the bowl. If you still have lumps, then repeat the process a 3rd time.
Now add in the powder sugar 2 cups at a time.
Make sure to bump the mixer several times after adding the sugar, then proceed to beat on high for 2 minutes. Now add the remaining sugar, bump the mixer, then beat on high again for 2 minutes.
Add the cocoa powder, bump the mixer several times, then beat on high for 2 minutes. Add the coffee creamer, mix for 1 minute to incorporate.
If you want a smoother icing for spreading, not pipping, then add 2 more tbsp of milk or coffee creamer, then beat for 1 minute on high.
Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or up to 2 months in the freezer.
