When you need chocolate frosting fast, this one minute chcolate frosting is perfect. With just 5 ingredients, you can have a frosting better than the canned stuff from the grocery store.
This frosting uses chocolate chips to get that chocolate flavor instead of cocoa powder. Then you just need some canned milk, butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar.
All you do is add the chocolate chips, canned milk, butter and vanilla to a microwave safe bowl. You only need to microwave it for about 30 seconds. Whisk it together, then whisk in the powdered sugar and it’s ready to go.
If you don’t spread the frosting right after you make it, it can thicken up. However, no worries, just put it in the microwave for a few seconds and mix again. It’s as good as new. I used this frosting an put it on top of the wacky cake that I shred with you yesterday.
