Ingredients

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 14 oz.
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

How To Make fudgy frosting

  • Step 1
    Put the chocolate chips and salt in the top of a double-boiler on medium, or a heavy saucepan on low-medium.
  • Step 2
    Stir until the chocolate is melted. Add the sweetened condensed milk, and cook about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the frosting is shiny and of spreading consistency.
  • Step 3
    Remove from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla. Then add the butter, and stir until it melts completely.
  • Step 4
    NOTES: 1) Once it cools, this is just like fudge. 2) This frosting is perfect for Devil's Food cake. 3) I prefer the saucepan, and use a diffuser to prevent scorching.
