Cooked Chocolate Fudge Icing
Description
This Cooked Chocolate Fudge Icing recipe starts by melting salted butter and whisking in unsweetened cocoa powder. Buttermilk is then stirred in and the mixture is brought to a gentle simmer to develop a smooth and intense cocoa base. Once removed from heat, powdered sugar and vanilla extract are incorporated to create a thick, creamy frosting. The warmth of the cake or brownies helps achieve an even spread and a shiny finish.
The resulting icing offers a rich, dense chocolate flavor with a velvety texture that complements moist baked goods. Its cooked foundation prevents graininess and contributes to a fudgy mouthfeel instead of a simple powdered sugar glaze.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter salted
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan over low heat. Whisk in cocoa powder, then pour in buttermilk. Increase heat to medium high and bring to a simmer, whisking constantly.
- Once the mixture is simmering, remove from the heat and whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Pour over cake or brownies to cover. Use a rubber spatula to smooth out and spread if needed. Cake or brownies can still be warm.
