Often, chocolate buttercream just doesn’t taste chocolatey enough. This Swiss meringue buttercream contains the perfect balance of chocolate and slightly minty flavor. So many times recipes turn out too minty, which drowns out the chocolate flavor. Not here! Just imagine a chocolate milkshake with a little peppermint. That’s exactly what this frosting tastes like. I’ve never been a mint fan, but this one I can eat straight from the mixing bowl. It’s that good!
This recipe is available to everyone.

For a smooth, satiny frosting, make this chocolate mint buttercream frosting with or without the mint. It tastes just like a chocolate shake with mint.
Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl or measuring cup along with the shortening. Microwave on high in 2 – 3 (30-second increments) stirring after each increment. Then, microwave 10 – 20-second increments, stirring after each increment until the chocolate is runny. Do not overheat or the chocolate will seize up**. Alternatively, melt between 84 and 90F in the Brod & Taylor Proofer & Slow Cooker. Allow the chocolate to cool slightly. Just make sure it’s not hot. Scrape the melted chocolate into the egg mixture in about four separate portions, mixing on medium-low speed after each addition.
*Kirkland makes two varieties of semi-sweet chocolate chips: the white bag is dairy-free and the red bag is not. The red bag is richer due to the milk fat content.
**The only way to correct seized up chocolate is by cooling it quickly by adding additional cold or room temperature chocolate. Also, moving it to a colder container helps. Then add a tiny bit more shortening and stir as you reheat on low.
