Steps:
- 1. melt chocolate squares over double boiler over medium heat, stirring occasionally.When chocolate is melted, pour into blender with 1 can evaporated milk and sugar at medium speed for 1 minute then high speed unti the *noise* changes. (there is prob a good explanation for this but I am not Alton Brown]When the noise changes (to a quieter decibal) your frosting is done. Taste for sweetness and add more sugar if you like. This frosting needs no refrigeration, will stay nice and shiny and frosts like a dream as the consistency is perfect. As with any chocolate recipe,the higher quality you use the better the outcome.This can also double as a cupcake filler .....

- 1. Cake Directions:

Tips for Making the Best Chocolate Frosting:
- Use high-quality cocoa powder: The quality of the cocoa powder you use will greatly impact the flavor of your frosting. Look for a cocoa powder that is dark and has a rich, chocolatey aroma.
- Sift your dry ingredients: Sifting your dry ingredients will help to ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the frosting and will prevent lumps.
- Use room temperature butter: Room temperature butter will cream together with the sugar more easily and will result in a smoother frosting.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the frosting, making it light and fluffy.
- Add the cocoa powder and milk alternately: This will help to prevent the frosting from becoming too thick or too thin.
- Beat the frosting until it is smooth and creamy: This will help to ensure that all of the ingredients are evenly distributed and that the frosting is the right consistency.
- Chill the frosting before using: This will help the frosting to set and will make it easier to spread.
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you can make a delicious chocolate frosting that will perfectly complement your favorite cake, cupcake, or brownie recipe. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet treat, be sure to give this chocolate frosting a try. You won't be disappointed!
