How to Make Grandma's Creamy Fudge Icing
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, light corn syrup, milk, butter, and salt.
- If using chocolate, add the chopped chocolate to the saucepan. If using cocoa powder, set aside for step 5.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature.
- Boil for exactly 1 minute, or until the thermometer registers 220°F (104°C). If using cocoa powder, whisk it in now and stir until completely combined.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Do not stir.
- Beat the mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed until it begins to thicken and lose its gloss, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add vanilla extract and beat for another minute until the icing reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- Pour the icing into a bowl or container and let cool completely before using. (Optional: chill for 30 minutes for a firmer icing.)
