Decorator Icing Suggestions

  1. I prefer Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Cocoa for this recipe.
  2. Make sure and sift the powdered sugar.
  3. If you find the frosting is too thick to pipe, stir in milk one tablespoon at a time.
  4. If you find the frosting is too thin, mix in 1/4 cup powdered sugar at a time.

Storage

This Chocolate Decorator Icing can be stored at room temperature for up to three days or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. When you take it out of the refrigerator allow it sit at room temperature for two hours. After the two hours,ย  re-whip the frosting for ten minutes before using.
