Prep Time10 minutes
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Chocolate Icing

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate 60-74%, melted and cooled
  • 2-2½ tablespoons milk or coconut milk
  • 1 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Combine melted and cooled chocolate with 1 tablespoon milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Add remaining milk, a splash at a time, just until it's smooth enough to glaze. It should be thick enough that when you swirl it, the swirl stays for a few seconds then collapses back into itself.
  • It will firm up as it sits, if it's too thin, let it sit for a few minutes and give it another stir. If it's too thick, add a bit more milk or zap it in the microwave for a few seconds to loosen it up.
  • Vary the type of chocolate, milk, semi-sweet, bittersweet and don't forget the sprinkles
