Chocolate Chip Frosting Recipe For Chocolate Chip Cake
A chocolate chip frosting recipe can be made from your favorite white whipped cream or buttercream frosting recipe. What is important is that the body of the frosting is strong enough to suspend the tiny chips. You also want to be sure to have a good ratio of candy to frosting and that added candies are distributed evenly throughout.
You can also try different colors of frosting to contrast with the chips. For example, a milk chocolate buttercream would be delicious with dark chips mixed in. Or, a creamy coffee whipped cream would be heavenly with miniature dark ones. We also like a pink peppermint frosting with dark chocolate. For the reverse, try a dark chocolate buttercream with white chocolate chips.
Another consideration is the type of chocolate chips you use. For a denser buttercream or cream cheese frosting, you may be able to get away with a standard size chocolate chip. However, for a whipped cream base, it may be better to go with a miniature size that will float nicely in the lighter texture.
One final twist on the chocolate chip frosting recipe is using other small candies. For example, a confetti look is created with homemade “funfetti” frosting using small, rainbow-colored candies available at most grocery and baking supply stores. (Pillsbury sells this premade in a can, but homemade is just as simple and tastes better). Perhaps our favorite would be the white vanilla buttercream with colorful m&m minis sprinkled throughout.
You can do this with any frosting by just adding the proper proportion. A rule of thumb is 6 oz or 3/4 c of chocolate chips, chunks or other candies for a standard frosting recipe.
