Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cream, coffee, and vanilla. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture boils. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in chocolate, shortening, and salt, stirring until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth.
- Let frosting stand, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour or until cooled to room temperature and thickened. Use immediately.
Tips:
- To achieve the perfect consistency for your fudge frosting, make sure to cook it until it reaches the soft-ball stage (235°F or 113°C) using a candy thermometer. This will ensure that the frosting is thick and creamy, yet still pourable.
- For a richer and more decadent flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder. Look for brands that have a deep, dark color and a strong chocolate aroma.
- To create a smooth and lump-free frosting, whisk the ingredients together constantly while cooking. This will help to incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a light and fluffy texture.
- If you want to add nuts or other toppings to your frosting, stir them in once it has cooled slightly. This will prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the bowl.
- For best results, use the frosting immediately after making it. However, you can also store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Paula Deen's Mama's Quicker Fudge Frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and requires just a few simple ingredients. With its rich chocolate flavor and creamy texture, this frosting is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
