How to Make Granny's Chocolate Icing
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup unsweetened chocolate (or 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder), ½ cup milk, ¼ cup butter, and 1 cup heavy cream.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
- Continue to boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until the icing thickens to a spreadable consistency (about 2-3 minutes). It will set up quickly, so work fast!
- Spread the icing evenly onto your cooled cake. Enjoy!
