Recipe Reviews
It's so good! Great icing!
Great recipe, definitely needs the milk to make is soft enough once it’s cooled. I use 3 big splashes.
I also used a microwave to melt choc and butter on 30 second intervals. Let it stand before it’s fully melted and let it melt itself with its heat instead of overheating.
Worked a treat.
Totally yummy and so simple to make 😋 I used my microwave to melt the butter and chocolate together which was really simple. Thank you.
It's real good melted icing😋
Great recipe, worked perfectly. Used a large pan, low heat, melted butter and chocolate together at the same time. Added dry ingredients and whisked by hand. Lovely dark glossy mouth watering icing!
Delicious! A tip to avoid the mixture curdling, I always melt the butter first in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, when it’s completely melted, take the bowl off the pan and away from the heat, then add the chunks of chocolate and stir in until melted. It gives it the nice glossy look too.
