EASY CHOCOLATE FUDGE FROSTING



Easy Chocolate Fudge Frosting image

I got this recipe from a bowling partner several years ago when I discovered I was out of powdered sugar and asked her for a frosting recipe I could put on "One Pot Brownies" that didn't call for powdered sugar. I don't know where this recipe originated as she recited it to me from memory. It's a snap to make and goes good on brownies, cake, cookies-just about any product calling for frosting.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is a good choice.
  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start mixing. This will help them to incorporate smoothly and create a creamy frosting.
  • Don't overbeat the frosting. Overbeating can cause it to become grainy.
  • If you want a thicker frosting, chill it for a few minutes before using.
  • If you want a thinner frosting, add a little more milk or cream.
  • This frosting can be used to frost cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It can also be used as a filling or dip.

Conclusion:

This easy chocolate fudge frosting is rich, creamy, and delicious. It's perfect for any chocolate lover. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious frosting that will make your desserts look and taste amazing.
