I just saw your post for your chocolate American Buttercream. I will be trying this recipe as it sounds fantastic. I'm reaching out to you with a question. Last week before seeing this recipe I made a different chocolate frosting that is American Buttercream but that recipe also included 1/2 cup Sour Cream in it. Because I like to get as much done in advance I froze it and now am questioning whether or not it is safe to freeze American buttercream that has sour cream in it. This is going to a party and and safety is my number 1 concern. Thank you for any help.
