Ingredients
- The key to this frosting is a box of unsweetened chocolate. I always use , which is widely available.
- Any type of milk (skim, 2%, whole) works just fine here. It’s a small amount so the fat content doesn’t make a huge difference in the final product.
- If you’re using salted butter, skip the salt. If it’s unsalted butter, you’ll want to add a pinch to balance out the sweetness.
How to Make Chocolate Fudge Frosting
- Place the unsweetened chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals until melted, stirring after each interval. Let cool to room temperature.
- Add the softened butter, powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt to the melted chocolate. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy. (The bowl pictured in #2 needs a splash more milk to make it creamier!)
