Another great frosting..Just like fudge on a cake. I also had this recipe for a long time and I do not know how I got it. This is also good on a pan of brownies. This frosting ends up thicker than my original fudge recipe. Hummmm Out of old blue recipe box.

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 2/3 c sugar
3/4 c butter
3/4 c milk
1 c chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. Mix sugar, butter & milk together and Boil for 1 minute. Remove from fire and add chocolate chips. Beat until thick with a wooden spoon. Frost cake quickly or frost a pan of brownies. This frosting will be just like fudge when it cools.

Tips for Making Easy Chocolate Frosting:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the frosting will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Use unsalted butter: This will help to control the sweetness of the frosting. If you only have salted butter, be sure to omit the salt from the recipe.
  • Use heavy cream: This will help to make the frosting rich and creamy. If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half, but the frosting may not be as thick.
  • Don't overbeat the frosting: Overbeating can make the frosting grainy. Beat the frosting just until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Let the frosting cool before using: This will help it to set properly. If you're using the frosting on a cake, let it cool for at least 30 minutes before frosting the cake.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you're sure to make a delicious and easy chocolate frosting that will be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give this chocolate frosting a try!
