AI not sure if I overbeated my chocolate buttercream ... I keep adding powder sugar and just wont get stiff enough.. Do you think I overbeat it??

I added 4oz of melted chocolate cocoa powder

What buttercream recipe did you use?

A

sorry my phone deleted half the post.

2 sticks butter 2/3 cup cocoa powder 4 oz melted chocolate aprox 7 cups powder sugar pinch of salt

I saw the recipe online. I usually just use cocoa powder not melted chocolate. It was just getting too sweet after all that PS so i kept beating it for 5 min more

I've never added melted chocolate to regular buttercream, only to SMBC. It may be after all that beating that your butter is too soft now. Try putting it in the fridge for a little while and see what that does. But I've done regular BC before where the day was so hot my butter melted and the BC curdled. I had to chuck it out and start again. Does it look curdled? Or just too soft? If just too soft, try refrigerating it.

Athank you! It wasn't curdled, just really soft. I follow your advise and I stuck it in the fridge for an hour and then brang it back to room temp.. looks good! ;-) It actually tasted very good too :-)

THANK YOU

No worries! I'm glad it worked :)
