SO HOW'D IT GO?
I prefer this over the other chocolate frosting I made from this site. Super quick,easy and perfectly supreadable! Yes i can imagine using as a chocolate fudge sauce, dipping into strawberries.
This was pretty good. I used it with the Super Moist Chocolate Cake recipe from this site. After stirring it over medium heat for a minute or two, I got impatient b/c it wasn't thickening up. So, I turned it on high, and it thickened up in just a few seconds. The only thing is that it didn't really harden on my cake... I mean, it was good, but I was just expecting it to harden a little. Whatever, it's really yummy. Thanks for the recipe!
This was quite good, my only suggestion would be to add a little more milk to thin it out, it's kind of hard to spread on a crumbly cake as is. The taste is spot on though, do try it out!
It was really yummy, but also rich, so I advise to not eat too much at a time. Really good though!
This is excellent!!! 5 stars are way too little to give- it should have more. I whisked everything together first until it was well blended and smooth and then I put it on the heat. I watched it whisking it until every part of it began to boil and then I quickly took it off the heat. And I also used turbinado sugar.
Wow, this is *beautiful*! Very tasty and so easy to make. Once it starts to thicken it's pretty much instantaneous. As for the oil at the end, as I was putting it in and started stirring I was wondering if it was necessary. But once it's all mixed in (took a minute) it starts to get a "fluffy" texture to it.
Great recipe, thank you!!
