Categories     Desserts     Frostings and Icings     Chocolate

Time 15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 ¾ cups confectioners' sugar
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
6 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, sift together the confectioners' sugar and cocoa, and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter until smooth, then gradually beat in sugar mixture alternately with evaporated milk. Blend in vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy. If necessary, adjust consistency with more milk or sugar.

Tips:

  • Use the right chocolate: The type of chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your frosting. For a rich, dark chocolate flavor, use semisweet or bittersweet chocolate. If you want a sweeter frosting, use milk chocolate.
  • Let the chocolate cool before adding it to the butter: If you add hot chocolate to the butter, it will melt the butter and make the frosting too runny. Let the chocolate cool for a few minutes before adding it to the butter.
  • Beat the butter and chocolate until they are light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the frosting, making it light and airy.
  • Add the powdered sugar gradually: Adding the powdered sugar all at once can make the frosting too thick. Add it gradually, beating well after each addition, until the frosting reaches the desired consistency.
  • Flavor the frosting to your liking: You can add a variety of flavors to your chocolate frosting, such as vanilla extract, almond extract, or coffee extract. You can also add chopped nuts, sprinkles, or other decorations.

Conclusion:

Chocolate frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used to decorate a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious chocolate frosting that will make your desserts look and taste amazing.
