How To Make fudgy frosting

  • 1
    Put the chocolate chips and salt in the top of a double-boiler on medium, or a heavy saucepan on low-medium.

    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.

    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.
