Time 40m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups sugar (I use Splenda Blend)
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup evaporated milk (or use half-and-half )
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a heavy medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa, and salt, and stir or whisk to mix everything well.
  • Add the butter and place over medium heat, stirring to melt the butter and mix everything together into a smooth, brown sauce.
  • Add the milk, stir well, and bring the frosting to a boil, stirring often and adjust the heat to maintain an active but gentle boil, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.
  • When the frosting begins to thicken, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla and set it aside to cool for about 20 minutes.
  • Beat the frosting just until it thickens and looks shiny, and then spread it over the cake or the layers you want to ice.

2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder (Hershey's is fine)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup half and half
1 tablespoon corn syrup
3 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Heat until the mixture reaches 240 degrees. Let the fudge cook until it reaches 240 degrees, checked with a candy thermometer or instant-read thermometer. Don't stir during the cooking process. Once the temperature is reached, immediately remove the pan from the heat.
  • Place butter and vanilla on top and allow to cool. Place the butter and vanilla on top of the fudge and allow it to cool. Do not mix or disturb the pan. Let it cool about. 20 minutes until the side of the pan is warm but not hot to the touch.
  • Mix with a hand mixer until fudge begins to firm up. Using a hand mixer on medium-low, beat the fudge for 1-3 minutes until it just begins to firm up and lose its shine.
  • Quickly pour into a buttered dish, cool, and cut. Once the fudge changes texture, immediately pour it into a dish to set. Work quickly. It if is not pourable, just scoop it out and flatten in the best you can. Allow it to cool for 20 minutes and cut into one-inch squares.

Mom always cooked each of us our favorite cake on our birthday. My little brother's favorite was 4 layer yellow cake with this cooked fudge icing. The only icing I can cook that turns out right every time. My brother liked it so it was slightly hard when done. I love it that way too. I have used this on Boston Cream Pie as well.
