Does anyone know how to make homemade chocolate frosting?

Answer 1

An easy chocolate frosting recipe in old homemade style.

1 square of chocolate,
a pinch of salt,
5 tablespoonfuls of boiling water,
1 teaspoonful of vanilla,
about three cups of sifted confectioners' sugar.
Melt chocolate in bowl over tea-kettle, add water, salt and vanilla, and when smooth add the sugar, and heat until very glossy.

Make the chocolate frosting stiff enough to spread without using a wet knife.

It will keep indefinitely.

Recipe 2
The whites of four eggs, three cups of powdered sugar and nearly a cup of grated chocolate. Beat the whites a very little, they must not become white, stir in the chocolate, then put in the sugar gradually, beating to mix it well.

Answer 2

1/3 Cup Softened Butter (Margarine can be used also but better with the real thing!)
3 Cups Powdered Sugar
1 1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla
1/2 Cup Baking Cocoa
About 2 Tablespoons Milk

(If you prefer white frosting instead of chocolate then don't add the baking cocoa)

Mix the butter and sugar. Add the vanilla and milk. Mix it until the frosting is smooth or the right consistency to frost with. If too think you can add a couple of DROPS of milk at a time. But be careful...too much will make it too thin.

Answer 8

Any ordinary recipe book has a recipe for homemade chololate frosting. My mother said that if you can read, you can cook. All you need is a good recipe book, and she was a good cook. I have found that this applies to everything I have tried except pie crusts and bread. Someone needed to show me how to roll out the crust without having it wrap around the rolling pin and how to knead the bread.
Ofcourse, they have such good chocolate frosting products in the stores these days that most people don't bother to start from scratch, but all you need is the recipe, the ingredients and a beater.

Add a couple tbs. cocoa, some powdered sugar, like 2 cups , a tsp of vanilla and some milk, just enough to make it the thickness and spreadability you want.
