Chocolate Fudge Frosting (Varsitile)
This glossy chocolate fudge frosting is silky and rich in chocolate flavor and is the most delicious chocolate frosting ever made!
Ingredients
- 230 g Butter unsalted
- 300 g Dark chocolate about 60%-70%
- ¼ cup Cocoa powder
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- ⅓ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Into a saucepan, add the butter, heavy cream, and dark chocolate, and sift the cocoa powder and powdered sugar, and kosher salt.
- Heat all the ingredients over medium heat mixing constantly until the mixture is smooth and melted.
- Strain the mixture into a large bowl or baking pan to speed up the cooling process.
- Cover the top with plastic wrap so that the plastic wrap is directly touching the top of the frosting. This will prevent skin from forming.
- Let it cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, and then transfer it to the fridge to cool for another 1-2 hours. (depending on the thickness you are looking for)
- Remove the frosting from the fridge and give it a mix with a spoon or a spatula. Use it for this matildas chocolate cake or for your dessert of choice!
Notes
- Add ½ teaspoon of espresso powder to the mixture for a richer flavor and to enhance the delicious flavor of the chocolate.
- If you feel like your frosting is too bitter, feel free to add 1-2 tablespoons of powdered sugar.
- Use room-temperature ingredients like butter and heavy cream. This will make it easier for the mixture to melt together and get smooth and silky.
