Chocolate fudge icing - recipe?

bizzylizzy

Sorry, I have looked in the Index, and searched but can't find the recipe I want. It was made from butter and cocoa and icing sugar melted together in a saucepan (I think). I did write it down but have lost the piece of paper :rolleyes:

Lizzy, you've got the ingredients right but not sure about the quantities. I rarely weigh or measure ingredients (unless baking of course). I don't do mine by heating, - just soften the butter, add the icing sugar and then cocoa powder (or coffee- by adding a bit of hot water to dissolve coffee powder - or lemon/orange juice or whatever flavour I want)

This is my recipe :-

1oz butter
1 tbsp milk
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp golden syrup
3oz icing sugar
1oz coco powder.

Melt all ingredients together (except coco powder and icing sugar). Then beat in other ingredients.

This must be the recipe she was after. I've not tried this one myself - looks yummy. Thanks

They look good, but I remember heating butter, cocoa and icing sugar in a pan and then finding it was too thick so added some milk. I'm sure I found it on here - but can't find it anywhere!

Hooray, I have found the piece of paper!!

7oz icing sugar
1oz cocoa powder
3oz butter
2 tbsp milk
Melt butter, add sugar and cocoa, beat well, add milk leave to thicken.

Hi

just throwing my recipe into the mix!

The recipe i have (from DD1's school)

100g Sugar
120ml milk
50g butter or marge
150g chocolate (broken into small pieces)

melt sugar with milk over low heat. bring mixture to the boil then simmer for 2 min. Take pan off the heat and stir in the chocolate and the butter. Cook the mixture for another minute and keep stirring. leave to cool and thicken before spreading.

this was scrum-my but took a day to set completely!

I've just made a chocolate sponge cake and want to find a recipe for a chocolate fudge icing similar to the type you get for pud in American style diners. Googling brings up so many different icing recipes - some use cocoa, others melted chocolate, some you even have to heat up in a saucepan. Has anyone got a tried and tested recipe they could recommend please?

Mine is a little melted butter, with sieved icing sugar and cocoa I'm away from home atm, so can't post the exact recipe, sorry.

As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll add it to the existing thread to give you more ideas.
