Combine powdered sugar and butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt; mix for 30 seconds. Add cream 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix on medium speed until frosting is shiny and seems to have large bubbles, 3 to 5 minutes more.

Easy Batter Fruit Cobbler
This mixed berry cobbler works well with any juicy summer fruit: peaches, nectarines, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries.

And if you use frozen berries, this dessert can be assembled in less than 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream.
