What you need for the frosting for these Cupcakes:

unsalted butter

Of course you don’t have to swirl your frosting like this but it reminds me of soft serve vanilla and chocolate soft serve ice cream which makes me super happy.

It’s super easy to swirl your icings together if you decide to frost the cupcakes like this.

Just make the two flavors, take a large piping bag fitted with a 1M piping tip. Spoon the vanilla frosting on one side of bag and chocolate frosting on the other Then pipe a giant swirl onto the cupcake brownies.

Sprinkle on some mini chocolate chips and you’ve got yourself a portable frosted brownie dessert!
