Can fudge be made from canned frosting?

Question

Ive got like many cans of chocolate frosting and wondered if I could turn some of this into a fudge recipie. Seems to me that it has some of its ingredients. I just dont know how to match up some of the other ingredients to a can of frosting. Any Ideas?

Answer 1

Try it, I tried to answer this question before. I don't think it will work but you be the guinea pig and get that frosting in a pan to 140 degrees minimum, I just hope the emulsifiers don't break down as well as the oils in there start to separate. Once you get it up to temp, scrape it into a glass dish (8X8) and spread it out, put ice in the sink and then lay the glass dish in the ice, check it about every 5 mins or so, don't get any water into the dish. If it's going to work it shouldn't take more then half an hour in the ice to firm up. If it works then you are the Pioneer. Good Luck (Gremlin Frosting Fudge)

Answer 2

Fudge Made With Canned Frosting

Answer 3

Take a can of pint of full or heavy cream. Heat it in a small or med size pan. Do not let it boil.

When it is about to boil, add two large or king size bars of hershey chocolate, or other type of chocolate. Stir it until the chocolate is melted and mixed well with the cream.

Add the frosting a little at a time until it is blended. I'd probably add one can per the ingredient proportions above. Maybe less.

After the frosting is fully integrated, remove from heat and pour into shallow pan or container. Let cool.

Answer 4

Easiest:

Melt one bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips with frosting. Spread into greased pan and allow to cool.

I've done it. It's okay in a pinch, but not a premium fudge.

Answer 5

Sandra Lee who does semi homeade made a fudge once from canned frosting. She also makes no bake cookies from canned frosting.
She uses ground graham crackers or cookie crumbs and mixes it in with the frosting to stabilize it and keep it from seperating. I can't remember the rest .... but yes you can make it

Answer 7

I would not try it. If you have plenty of time and frosting, you can play with it. You need to find an ingredient or process that would thicken it. I would suggest confectioner's sugar as a starting place.

Answer 8

I don't think you can make frosting into fudge.
I like to put canned frosting on brownies. Make a bunch & take them to work, or hand them out to homeless people!

Answer 9

Why do you have so many?

Sometimes, I use the frosting to top my own donuts, or cinnimon rolls. I also have seen a recipe using it for cake, drizzled over marshmallows, like s'more cake.
