Description
This One Minute Easy Chocolate Frosting is the perfect solution when you need a rich, glossy chocolate topping in a hurry. Made with simple pantry ingredients, it comes together in just one minute and sets beautifully over cakes, brownies, and other desserts.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup milk
- ⅓ cup butter
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add the butter, milk, and granulated sugar to a small saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Let it boil for 45 seconds, stirring as needed.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Whisk in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips until completely smooth and glossy.
- Immediately pour the frosting over a 9×13-inch cake or brownies.
- Spread quickly if needed, since the frosting will begin to set as it cools.
- Allow the frosting to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Pour the frosting over your cake or brownies while it is still warm and pourable.
- Work quickly because the frosting thickens as it cools.
- Let the dessert cool completely before cutting for cleaner slices.
- Use a spatula to spread the frosting evenly if it does not naturally cover the surface.
- Store frosted cake or brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- Let refrigerated desserts sit at room temperature for a short time before serving for the best texture.
- You can freeze frosted brownies or cake for up to 2 months in a well-wrapped, freezer-safe container
