Cocoa Fudge Glaze image

Small batch fudge glaze; just enough for an 8x8 pan of brownies, a loaf sized cake, or several cupcakes! Make it mocha by adding instant coffee granules, or change up the extract for different flavors! I frosted Recipe #491541 with this mocha glaze!

Time 13m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons instant coffee granules (optional)
3 1/2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon almond extract or 1 teaspoon coconut extract
1/4-1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds (optional for garnish) or 1/4-1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans (optional for garnish)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a medium sized saucepan over low heat.
  • In same saucepan, stir in cocoa, salt, powdered sugar, optional instant coffee granules, and milk. Whisk constantly over lowest heat for about a minute.
  • Remove from heat and add extract; whisk well.
  • Whisk until smooth and creamy, only adding additional powdered sugar if more of a frosting-like consistency is desired. Glaze will set up as it cools!
  • Thinly frost cooled brownies, loaf sized cake, or cupcakes while glaze is hot, and garnish with coarsely chopped nuts, if desired.
