This chocolate fudge frosting is my favorite frosting of all time– no joke! It’s the one I remember most from my childhood, and I can’t think of any other frosting I’d want on my birthday cake. It’s creamy, full of chocolate flavor, and super easy to make!

Tips for Success

Do not allow the butter to come to a full boil. You just want to melt the butter and chocolate together. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl to fully incorporate your ingredients. If your frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk at a time to thin it out. Give your frosting time to set and thicken up before using. It will hold its shape!

How to Store

Store leftover chocolate fudge frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. I do not recommend freezing this frosting.

Serving Suggestions

I love to add this chocolate fudge frosting to my favorite chocolate cupcakes, but it’s also great on chocolate angel food cake, turtle cake, brownies, or chocolate butter cookies.
