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.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 c butter, room temperature
2/3 c boiling water
1 c dark cocoa powder, sifted
8 c powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. In mixer, combine all ingredients on low speed for 30 seconds.
  • 2. Increase speed to medium and beat for 1 minute until smooth.
  • 3. Let frosting cool for 15 minutes before using.

Tips:

  • Always use fresh ingredients, especially butter and cream, for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the butter and cream are at room temperature before you start making the frosting. This will help them combine smoothly and create a creamy texture.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test to check if the sugar syrup has reached the soft-ball stage. Drop a small amount of the syrup into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a soft ball that holds its shape, it's ready.
  • If you want a thicker frosting, add more powdered sugar. If you want a thinner frosting, add more milk or cream.
  • For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of cocoa powder or melted chocolate to the frosting.
  • For a nutty flavor, add a tablespoon of peanut butter or chopped nuts to the frosting.
  • For a fruity flavor, add a tablespoon of fruit preserves or jam to the frosting.
  • Store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Fudge frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a smooth, creamy, and flavorful frosting that will make your desserts look and taste amazing.
