There is way too much icing sugar to butter, and it comes out grainy and floury. I had to add another 200g butter to save it. After this I saw the note that this recipe has not been tested by Chelsea. Shame on you for putting your name to it; people trust the name of your brand, you have lost a customer.CHELSEA: Hi there, this chocolate buttercream icing has a very similar ratio of ingredients to other chocolate buttercream recipes found online. It is important to beat the butter until pale and fluffy before adding the rest of the ingredients, and adding as much milk as required at the end to give a nice creamy consistency. Our recipe club members are always welcome to submit and share recipes on our site. As I'm sure you can understand, we are not able to test every single recipe. However, the author of the recipe is always credited and we make sure to include a note that we have not yet tested the recipe., approved=true, user_name=Hazel, hs_createdate=1702249850130, rating_new__1_5_=1, id=11175435897}]}
