Como fazer Mom's Cooked Fudge Frosting
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, 1 cup heavy cream, and 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate).
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-safe spatula, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (235°F/113°C on a candy thermometer).
Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) unsalted butter until completely melted and smooth.
Let the frosting cool to lukewarm (about 80-90°F) without stirring. This allows it to thicken properly.
Once lukewarm, beat the frosting with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until it becomes creamy, thick, and spreadable (about 3-5 minutes).
