Instructions

Beat the butter until creamy, about 1 minute.
On low speed, beat in the confectioners' sugar, cocoa, flour, and salt, then the milk and vanilla.
Beat until smooth and fudgy, adding more milk 1 teaspoon at a time if needed. Serve with pretzels, strawberries, or graham crackers.

Tips

To heat-treat flour, microwave it in 30-second bursts, stirring, until it reaches 165°F; cool before using. Raw flour isn't safe to eat.
Vanilla swap: use vanilla bean paste 1:1 in place of the extract for visible specks, or the seeds of 1 vanilla bean for each tablespoon of extract.
Best vanilla for this: Ugandan (bold, chocolatey, smoky), or Mexican (spiced, warm, woodsy). Any pure vanilla works.
Storage: Refrigerate, covered, for up to 5 days; soften 15 minutes before serving.
