chocolate frosting
 

I am looking for a good chocolate frosting recipe. I just dont like the canned frosting. But I love choc cake with choc frosting.
Thanks for the help

I just use a standard butter cream frosting and add chocolate. 16 oz. confectioners sugar; 1 stick butter; milk to get to proper consistency. I usually mix by hand with a fork. Doesn't take that long. For chocolate, add 2 squares of melted bakers chocolate - I usually use semi-sweet. This makes ALOT of frosting. But it's really, really, yummy.

I use the recipe on the container of Hershey's Cocoa, natural unsweetened. It's called "Perfectly Chocolate" Chocolate Frosting.
1 stick (1/2 c) butter or margarine 3 c powdered sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract
2/3 c Hershey's Cocoa 1/3 c milk
Melt butter. Stir in cocoa. Alternately add powdered sugar and milk, beating on med. speed to spreading consistency. Add more milk, if needed. Stir in vanilla. Makes about 2 cups.

This is very good. I just use a cake mix for the cake and top with this delicious frosting. Taste like homemade!

choclate frosting::1/12 cup sugar 5 tbls milk 5tbls butter bring to a boil . boil 1 min add 1 cup chocolaate chips. stir in pour on cake delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Hershey's recipe works for me..also you could google chocolate frosting and pick from a boat load of recipes. Have you looked at Just A Pinch recipe site? Those recipes are well tested..

yep me to ever since i can remember

I use this recipe for the most part but then add a couple tablespoons of cream cheese to cut down on the sweetness.

Yes you do have to refrigerate after...BUT it is soooo tasty. I hate frostings and normally cut it all off, until this cool whip kind..

I also use my buttercream recipe and melt dark choc, maybe 3 oz and add at the end. Works great. You could use milk choc if you like.

My quick recipe:
1 lb powered sugar
1stick margarine, softened
1/4 - 1/2 cup cocoa
Dash of salt
1 t vanilla
Milk tor spreading consistency
Mix and enjoy. Freezes well.

I make the usual recipe but I beat the butter for about 1 1/2 mins before adding the icing sugar, vanilla and cocoa. Once I add the milk and get the right consistency, I beat it again for at least 3 mins. All this extra beating makes the frosting very fluffy and not so sweet. I've been making my frosting like this since I saw it on Martha Stewart.
