Judy's Decadent Chocolate Icing 🍫🎂
Indulge in this rich and creamy chocolate icing that's perfect for topping your favorite cakes, brownies, or cookies. This icing has a delightful caramel undertone thanks to the light brown sugar, and it pairs beautifully with both chocolate and vanilla desserts. Your friends and family will never want store-bought again once they try this homemade version!
Ingredients
- 1 lb box of light brown sugar
- 1 stick of margarine (or butter for a richer flavor)
- 3/4 cup condensed milk
- 1 - 6 oz package of chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the light brown sugar, margarine, and condensed milk over medium heat.
- Stir the mixture occasionally as it heats until it comes to a rolling boil.
🔥 Once boiling, keep a close eye on it and continue to boil for exactly five minutes. Stirring occasionally will help prevent it from scorching on the bottom.
- After five minutes, remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add the chocolate chips.
- Beat the mixture vigorously until it reaches a smooth and spreadable consistency.
🙌 If you find the icing is too thick, you can add a splash of milk to adjust the consistency. If it’s too thin, just allow it to cool for a bit, and it will thicken.
Tips for Success
- Storage: This icing can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. Simply reheat gently in the microwave or on the stove to restore its spreadable texture.
- Caramel Icing Variation: For a delightful caramel icing, simply omit the chocolate chips! Boil the mixture until it forms a soft ball when dropped in cold water for a classic caramel finish.
- Serving Suggestion: Try this icing on brownies or a chocolate cake for an extra decadent dessert. It also works wonderfully as a dip for fruits like strawberries and bananas!
Fun Fact
Did you know? Chocolate was first consumed as a bitter drink in ancient Mesoamerica, and it wasn’t until the addition of sugar that it became the sweet treat we know and love today! 🍫✨
