Milk chocolate fudge icing

 

Introducing milk chocolate fudge icing i.e. the only chocolate frosting you will ever need.

This icing is my go to chocolate icing. It pairs perfectly with everything from chocolate cake to a glaze for doughnuts.

No other icing will compare once you try this recipe.

If you’re not already sold, this icing is *SO* quick and easy to make. Four ingredients just melt together in the pan, and it’s done.

What is milk chocolate fudge icing?

 

A little different to traditional thick buttercream that is often piped onto cakes, this icing is smooth and glossy. Initially a little runny, it will quickly cool and set into a soft, squidgy and fudgy icing.

A thick layer of this icing on top of your cake will give an indulgent creaminess to the overall bake. 

The icing will retain its glossiness once it has set, so it will also give your cake a beautiful and professional finish.

Thank me later!

 

What do you need to make fudge icing?

 

Just four ingredients you say?

 

  • 100g milk chocolate
  • 50g unsalted butter
  • 60ml double cream
  • 30g icing sugar

Melt everything together on a very low heat, and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes. Give it a quick stir again and then pour over the cake, and leave to set.

    […] This cake is great on its own without any icing. For a special occasion, or for a little more indulgence, I think it’s even more special with a thick layer of fudgy chocolate icing on top. You can find my easy milk chocolate fudge icing recipe here. […]
