Basic Desserts Recipes - Fudge Frosting

Ingredients

  • 50g squares plain chocolate

  • 225g icing sugar, sifted

  • 50g butter

  • 45ml milk or single cream

  • 5ml vanilla essence


Method:

  1. Break or chop the chocolate into small pieces. Put the chocolate, icing sugar, butter, milk or cream and vanilla essence in a heavy-based saucepan.

  2. Stir over a very low heat until both the chocolate and the butter have melted. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir until evenly blended.

  3. Beat the icing frequently as it cools until it thickens sufficiently to use for spreading or piping. Use the icing immediately and work quickly once it has reached the right consistency.
