Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups Powdered sugar (sifted)
- 4 tablespoons Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until fully liquefied.
Step 2
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder to the melted butter and whisk until smooth and lump-free.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and gradually whisk in the sifted powdered sugar, alternating with the whole milk. Add a tablespoon of milk at a time to achieve a smooth consistency.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract and add a pinch of salt to balance the flavors.
Step 5
Continue whisking until the icing is glossy and thick, but still pourable. If the icing is too thick, add a few drops of milk to loosen it.
Step 6
Allow the icing to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes, then pour it over the cooled Swiss chocolate squares or your desired baked treat.
Step 7
Spread evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon for a smooth finish. Let the icing set for 20-30 minutes before slicing and serving.
