I know how much everyone has enjoyed Pat’s Fluffy Brown Sugar Icing recipe, so I couldn’t resist sharing this “Very Nice” Chocolate Frosting Recipe.
First of all, I love chocolate frosting. It’s classic and goes perfectly with just about anything.
Secondly, this recipe has 3 ingredients, 4 if you count water…
I had to make this, especially since she underlined “Very Nice”… It had to be fantastic.
How To Make Chocolate Frosting:
In her recipe she states to add boiling water and sifted confectioners sugar.
The first time I made this frosting, I just used hot water, and didn’t sift the sugar. Let’s just say, the frosting worked, BUT it was grainy. I didn’t like the texture. I decided to start over and follow her directions to the tee…
I boiled some water and let the Nesquik, boiling water and butter mix blend until it was completely dissolved. Then I sifted the sugar and added it gradually.
The result…
Amazing!
Smooth, chocolatey, creamy, and…well…VERY NICE!
It was so easy to make this frosting, I couldn’t believe it.
The recipe makes enough to frost a double layer 8″ cake, and pipes perfectly onto cupcakes.
It holds it’s shape, and can even be left out on the counter and not melt like a typical buttercream frosting.
I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m sure you could make this frosting with other flavors of Nesquik, for a little variety.
This is my new go-to recipe when I want a very nice chocolate frosting, so simple and completely delicious.
All I can say is, thanks Pat! Just like you, this frosting has passed the test of time, and is sweeter than ever.
