Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter
  • 0.5 cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 0.25 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk together to incorporate the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 2

Add the unsalted butter and whole milk to the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture comes to a boil.

Step 3

Once it starts boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and continue stirring for 5 to 7 minutes. The mixture should thicken and become smooth and glossy during this time.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Allow the frosting to cool for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent a film from forming on the surface.

Step 6

Once the frosting has cooled slightly but is still pourable, spread it evenly over your baked goods. It will set as it cools further, forming a fudgy consistency.

Step 7

Let the frosting fully cool and set before slicing or serving.
