Old Fashioned Chocolate Fudge Frosting
- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Yields:
-
2 cups
ingredients
- 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
directions
- 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.

I learned how to cook since I was young helping my dear Mom in the kitchen.
Also like to combine ideas or ingredients from different recipes to create some of my own, so my dear husband and my family enjoy what I cook.
