Chocolate Icing for Chocolate Cupcakes






For a frosting that is not too completely a sugar bomb. This has some substance and some goodness to it. And it was lovely to use the extra little bit in some sandwich cookies.



ingredients:

1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup  or 200 g dark chocolate
pinch salt
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp coconut sugar


directions:

1. heat milk, vanilla, sea salt, coconut sugar, and butter until just before simmering
2. pour over chocolate to melt
3. let sit for 2 minutes
4. stir slowly until chocolate is melted
5. allow to cool fully
6. I spread mine onto the cupcakes when the cupcakes were chilled. The icing was firm but spreadable.
