CHOCOLATE FUDGE ICING

Use this easy chocolate buttercream recipe for rich and smooth icing every time - ideal for finishing birthday, celebration or party cakes

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 25m

Yield Covers 1 x 20cm sponge cake (serves 12)

Number Of Ingredients 5

100g milk chocolate, chopped into small pieces
200g slightly salted butter, softened
400g icing sugar, sieved
4 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp milk

Steps:

  • Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl, suspended over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir every now and then until melted. (Alternatively, melt in the microwave, stirring the chocolate every 20 secs so it doesn't burn.)
  • Remove the bowl from the heat and leave to cool a little. Meanwhile, put the butter and icing sugar in another large bowl and mash with a spatula to combine (this will prevent you covering the work surface in icing sugar), then whisk with a hand mixer until smooth.
  • Sift in the cocoa and pour in the melted chocolate and milk, then mix again until smooth, and use to ice your chosen cake immediately. Will keep in the fridge for up to a week, but remove an hour before using to bring it back to room temperature, and beat well.

Old Fashioned Chocolate Fudge Frosting image

This is a very good recipe for chocolate fudge icing. Makes enough for 2-layer cake, one 13-by-9-inch cake or 24 cupcakes.

Provided by pink cook

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups sugar (I use Splenda Blend)
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup evaporated milk (or use half-and-half )
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a heavy medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa, and salt, and stir or whisk to mix everything well.
  • Add the butter and place over medium heat, stirring to melt the butter and mix everything together into a smooth, brown sauce.
  • Add the milk, stir well, and bring the frosting to a boil, stirring often and adjust the heat to maintain an active but gentle boil, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.
  • When the frosting begins to thicken, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla and set it aside to cool for about 20 minutes.
  • Beat the frosting just until it thickens and looks shiny, and then spread it over the cake or the layers you want to ice.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% works well.
  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start. This will help them blend together smoothly.
  • Don't overbeat the frosting. Overbeating can cause the frosting to become stiff and grainy.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream to thin it out.
  • If the frosting is too thin, add a little bit of powdered sugar to thicken it up.
  • For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of instant coffee powder to the frosting.
  • For a chocolate mint flavor, add a teaspoon of peppermint extract to the frosting.
  • For a chocolate orange flavor, add a teaspoon of orange zest to the frosting.

Conclusion:

Caroline's Chocolate Fudge Frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own personal taste. Whether you are looking for a classic chocolate frosting or something a little more unique, this frosting is sure to please.
