- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions

- Add melted butter, 2 tablespoons milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients
- Mix thoroughly with a hand mixer or whisk; adjust consistency with remaining milk if needed
- Spread evenly over completely cooled brownies using an offset spatula or spoon
Notes
For dairy-free option, substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk
Ensure brownies are completely cooled before applying frosting to prevent melting
If frosting becomes too thin, add more powdered sugar to thicken
