Caroline's Chocolate Fudge Frosting
Description
This chocolate fudge frosting is easy to make with just five ingredients. Use it on cakes or cupcakes — it's so much better than those store-bought tubs!
Ingredients
•
1/2 cup unsalted butter
•
3 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
•
1 pound confectioners' sugar
•
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
3/4 cup milk
Directions
1
Place butter and chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes.
2
Combine confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup milk, and vanilla in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer and slowly blend in melted chocolate mixture. Add remaining 1/4 cup milk, a little at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.
3
Let stand until frosting thickens enough to spread, 5 to 10 minutes.
