CHOCOLATE FUDGE ICING



Chocolate fudge icing image

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.

Tips:

  • To make the smoothest fudge icing, use a fine mesh sieve to sift the powdered sugar before measuring.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan filled with simmering water.
  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before beginning. This will help them blend together more smoothly.
  • If the icing is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • If the icing is too thin, add more powdered sugar until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • You can use any type of chocolate chips you like in this recipe. Semi-sweet chocolate chips are a classic choice, but you could also use dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, or even white chocolate chips.
  • If you don't have chocolate chips, you can use chopped chocolate bars instead.
  • This icing can be used to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. It can also be used as a filling for chocolate éclairs or other pastries.
  • Store the leftover icing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Granny's fudge icing is a classic recipe that is perfect for any chocolate lover. It is easy to make and can be used to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. The icing is also delicious as a filling for chocolate éclairs or other pastries. With its rich and chocolatey flavor, Granny's fudge icing is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
