KITTENCAL'S CHOCOLATE FROSTING/ICING



Kittencal's Chocolate Frosting/Icing image

A wonderful frosting I have used for years made in very little time with perfect results and 100% better than any canned, this frosting is so good you will find yourself eating a fair amount of it before even using it to frost with! --- choose the amount of cocoa powder you desire for either a light, medium or dark frosting, and make certain to sift the cocoa powder and the confectioners sugar before using for the recipe--- this frosting *freezes* very well so double the recipe and freeze one batch for next time --- *NOTE* for an ultra creamy fluffy milk chocolate frosting add in 1 to 1-1/2 cups thawed Cool Whip topping at the end of mixing the frosting and beat on low speed until blended ------- also see my recipe#80118 ---- recipe#282040 --- recipe#90142

Time 5m

Yield 2 cups, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup butter, softened (you can use margarine but the flavor will not be the same)
2 2/3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted (for medium)

  • Blend in the cocoa powder (the amount desired for a light, medium or dark flavor), vanilla, confectioners sugar, alternately with the cream.
  • Beat with an electric mixer, until the desired texture is achieved.

KITTENCAL'S NO-FAIL BUTTERY FLAKY PIE PASTRY/CRUST



Kittencal's No-Fail Buttery Flaky Pie Pastry/Crust image

I don't think you will find a better pie pastry, not only is this easy to handle but bakes outs flaky and light and has a rich buttery flavor! --- you could use 3 cups all purpose flour but the crust will not be as flaky --- here's a tip, to prevent a soggy pie crust brush a thin layer of egg white over the bottom crust before filling --- *NOTE* this can also be made using a processor with great results, which is the way I most always do (see instructions below the recipe) if you are making this on a food processor cube the butter and lard into about 1-inch pieces and then partially freeze.

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 2 9-inch pastry, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups cake pastry flour (or use 3 cups all purpose)
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, very cold
1/4 cup lard, very cold
1 egg yolk
7 tablespoons ice water
1 teaspoon vinegar

Steps:

  • Mix both flours, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
  • With a pastry cutter cut in the very cold butter and lard until the consistency of tiny peas.
  • In a small bowl whisk the egg yolk, vinegar and water.
  • Stir the egg/water mixture into the flour mixture until moistened and dough holds together (usually it takes the full amount of water/egg mixture).
  • Gather into a ball then divide into two.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge for 30 minutes (or the dough may be frozen after the 30 minutes chilling time, just wrap firstly in plastic wrap and then tightly in foil, leave in fridge overnight to defrost).
  • PROCESSOR METHOD: whirl the flour, sugar and salt for a couple of seconds.
  • In a small bowl mix the egg, vinegar and water together; set aside.
  • Add in the partially frozen butter cubes and lard to the flour mixture; pulse until well mixed, then add in the water/egg mixture.
  • Process/pulse JUST until the dough holds together (do not over process, or your dough will be tough!).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
  • Make sure the butter and chocolate are cut into small pieces before melting them together. This will help them melt evenly and smoothly.
  • Don't overcook the fudge. It should only take about 5 minutes to thicken and darken slightly.
  • If you want a creamier fudge, add a splash of heavy cream or milk.
  • For a richer fudge, add a tablespoon or two of butter.
  • You can flavor the fudge with a variety of extracts, such as vanilla, peppermint, or almond.
  • Add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or marshmallows for a fun and festive touch.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

This easy 5-minute chocolate fudge recipe is the perfect treat for any occasion. It's quick and easy to make, and it's always a hit with friends and family. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and decadent fudge that will satisfy your sweet tooth. So next time you're in the mood for something chocolaty, give this recipe a try.
