Chocolate Fudge Icing - Better Than Ganache! - The Hillbilly Kitchen

This fudge icing recipe tastes much better than Ganache. Use it to "coat" your cakes. It gives you a soft chocolate fudge topping for your cakes. It tastes exactly like chocolate fudge because it is chocolate fudge.
This icing is not spreadable, you must pour it on your cake while it's still warm. You cannot whip it into a frosting. It is a coating.
Ingredients:
2 cups - Sugar
3 - Heaping tablespoons of cocoa
2/3 cup - Whole milk
1/2 cup - Real butter
1 1/2 teaspoons - Real vanilla

This is the icing I always loved my aunt would make. She died before she ever got the chance to show me how she made it. Thanks Samantha I am SO excited to finally have this recipe !

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

I am glad you have the recipe again. I hope it turns out as good as your aunt's :)

This is exactly what my Arkansas grandma made for cakes! I never had the recipe from her - she passed when I was a little kid in the late 1960s, but now I've got your recipe! Can't wait to try it out for Christmas.

[@greggin9116]

We grew up with granny and mama making this kind of chocolate icing! (We didn’t know anything about store bought icing in a can!). I am sooo glad I finally found the “real” recipe and instructions. Can’t wait to share with my sister! Thank you for your videos and for always sharing the love of Christ, our Lord and Savior!

[@inconsistentdays7354]

I love yall"s channel! I wanted to tell you how thankful I am to have found it. This recipe for your chocolate fudge icing has also been in my family for years. We lost my grandmother in 1996 and her mom years before that. She always made a homemade chocolate cake with this icing. when she passed so did her recipe. for years we had no idea how she made her icing then one day I was searching for a chocolate icing and there it was. I about fell over when seeing your video. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Not only have I found the icing recipe we always used from yall but a few others. Thank you so much. Yall are my go-to now for great homemade recipes.

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

Thank you for watching, commenting and being a part of the Hillbilly Kitchen! God Bless You!

[@gaildaniel7041]

I’m so excited! Made my daughter a yellow “poke” cake with ur icing poured over it, topped with cool whip, and ur recipe chocolate covered strawberries on top! I tasted the icing as I made it and it tastes AMAZING and the shine on the strawberries is so pretty! I haven’t put it all together yet, letting strawberries cool before putting them on top of cake… her birthday is tomorrow.

[@bevjohnson22]

This brings back so many memories as a child. My grandmother used to make this and I absolutely love it. She use to let it sit and it would be so damn good

[@momkatmax]

Thank you! This looks like what my Mom made! My husband's Grandmother made the same thing and I will give it a try for his birthday cake!

[@bonnieraekonjevich2776]

I love this video Samantha. Was searching for your uncomplicated method for combining ingredients and cooking style for 2 hrs! needed for strawberries and other desserts! Praise God for your sharing! t

[@marybausch2885]

What a genius idea to use a mirror. So many people who make "videos" forget that we want to see how to do what you are doing. We already know what you look like.

[@salliemorrill2671]

Hershey's is the best! They have a great chocolate cake recipe on that can, too. But just remember, & your mom will remember this, Hershey's was always better in the metal tin box. Thank you for taking time & effort to video this. Was fun to watch & learn.

[@AussieAngeS]

Hi Samantha. I really like this chocolate fudge Icing,it has great consistency. Thank you for sharing.

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

+FitAnge S Thank you. Let me know if you try it.

[@kimballan113]

Hi Samantha love your fudge icing recipe going to use it for all my cakes

[@donnapollock]

I'm like you baby girl, I think that Ganache is a little over rated myself. I only use ganache for making truffles. I love this recipe, I have made it before but really forgot all about it, until you.....today!!!! I love the little cakes you made to put this amazing frosting on all over.

[@andrewlazar6914]

This looks delicious, I love ganache also lol! I’m not a fan of Hershey’s cocoa since it’s bitter and acidic cocoa. I like using dutch-processed like Guittard Cocoa Rouge cocoa since it’s mellower and richer flavor than the old-fashioned natural cocoa like Hershey’s or Nestlé Tollhouse. I gotta try this icing with a homemade chocolate bundt cake or some homemade chewy cocoa brownies! Happy Baking! God Bless! ❤️

[@warmlantern0000]

I made this along time ago on my own bc I didn't have icing. I thought I made a mistake. Lol bc it made the cake texture feel spongy . but boy was it Good !!!

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

I tried to whip it once and so I could spread it. That was a mistake. It will not whip, but it was still good 😋

[@world-of-susan.]

From Kerala, India. My grandmother also made this icing. I had the recipe, but not the how to. Thank you. I will try this.!.

[@bftscgirl1977]

You have saved my Christmas dessert. Thanks so much!

[@rachelroberts4409]

What you have in Tennessee mountain terms is as close to chocolate gravy as you can get. We put this over hot biscuits or use it to make our 10 layer cakes.

[@Reesearoon]

Vote up for chocolate on biscuits! Tried to tell my kids about this and they looked at me as if I told them to put spiders in their hair. Slap a pat of butter inside a hot biscuit, cover it with chocolate and you have one fantastic, dreamy delicious, super-easy chocolate pastry!

[@deejo2]

Thank you Samantha. This is exactly what I was looking for.😊

[@ViKee010]

I'm so glad I found you Samantha! I've been looking for this recipe for so long. But I do remember my mom using dark corn syrup to replace some of the sugar. Have you ever tried it that way? I'd be curious if you tried it, how much less sugar you would use and of course how much corn syrup would be added. If you try it first please let me know. If I do, I'll let you know. Lol. But you're right, this is the absolute best chocolate frosting. ❤️ God bless from one country girl to another!

[@gina4685]

thanks this is an icing ive been thinking about making my grandmother use to make it and it was so good! Yes JESUS CHRIST is LORD of lords and KING of kings!!! AMEN!!!

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

+Gina Embry I hope it is as good as your grandmother's. Thank you! God Bless You!!!

[@gina4685]

GOD bless you too!

[@Keeshablu]

A great quick & easy way to make icing thanks for sharing this recipe

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

Thank you for watching and God bless you!

[@33maisie]

I'm thinking of making this with Hershey's Special DARK cocoa. No, I'm not a chocoholic. haha! Thank you for the cooking, and wonderful witness for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

[@RV-there-Yet]

Bee-yoo-tee-full! This is one of our favorites as well. I figured out how to adapt it as icing, dessert topping etc, after making no bakes a few hundred times! I have always put the butter in at the start, with the sugar, let that melt together a minute, then add in the milk and keep going. Now I'm interested to see what differences there may be in adding it later on. I'm thinking it likely helps preserve more of the butter's integrity/flavor and might shift the texture a bit too...ok, ok...any old excuse to make some will do, right?! Also, we sure do look forward to hearing a bit from God's Word while you're cooking~nothing like feeding the body and the soul at the same time~well done Samantha!

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

+RV thereyet? Thank you :) I started trying some fancy cakes and couldn't stand ganache. I couldn't believe I had destroyed my delicious homemade cake with it, but I really liked the way it looked. So the fudge icing was born :) God Bless You!!!

[@morninglight7544]

Just what I was looking for, Thanks!

[@roxyr6796]

My mom is now in her 80's,and she always made this to ice yellow cake for my dad. Sometimes it'd be kinda chewy and sometimes hard..

[@sparkles5714]

Hi, love your recipe and the Bible story about Athaliah. I went to 2 Kings 8:26 did not see the scripture about her reign but went to 2 Kings 11:1-3 and read it. Thank you so much and continue to be blessing.

[@virginiaatkins5082]

Thank you for sharing and I will attempt to make this. I also claim Jesus Christ is Lord and I shall follow HIS word and teaching.

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

It is easy. The only tip I would give is remember it is not spreadable. My mom made it for a layer cake and tried to spread it. My dad's favorite cake is yellow with fudge frosting, so she decided to try this recipe and she said her brain must have shut down. She waited for it to cool so she could spread it :) I guess it started working again and she warmed it back up and poured it over the cake. It was delicious, so even if you brain temporally goes to sleep it still comes out :)) We all have those days. Let me know how yours comes out. Thank you. God Bless You and Your Family!!!

[@granttabor1338]

Glad to see you are posting some calorie free video's :) :) :) :)

[@lildebdoll60]

Keep stirring with those hands lol. Talking with hands.cracks me up...I had a beautician that did my hair and it took for ever because she had to talk with her hands as well..I would always say, "Cassy put your hands back on my head...hahaha. Had to share that because she's gone now but that brought the memory back....Love your kitchen and I super Love your family loves God....I Do Too 😌💖🙏. God Bless you and your family

[@spacial2]

Fabulous. Gonna share that with a niece in Africa.

[@lilamydogscruffy8842]

Hi Samantha. Loving the fancy camera angles. I want one of those cakes so bad right now!! LOL. So yummy. Can you use that as a fudge topping over ice cream? Thanks for sharing and God bless you Samantha and your Family. :)

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

+Lila Arce Thank you :) The credit for the camera angles goes to my dad and his editing skills. It makes great hot fudge sundaes. God Bless You!

[@heenaqureshi2813]

Nice recipe but can I use this for decorate cake plzz reply

[@himanichawla2973]

Hi Samantha. Hope you doing fine. Please reply back if you read my comment. I tried your recipe today with half the quantity mentioned by you (As I was trying for first time). Once the mixture cooled it became gritty and obviously it cannot be used for coating cake and i have to used my ganache instead. 1 cups - Sugar (200 gm) 2 - Heaping tablespoons of cocoa 1/3 cup - Whole milk 1/4 cup - Real butter little less than 1 teaspoons - Real vanilla. Please let me help in troubleshoot the issue with it.

[@gdawg4ever119]

If I make this and don’t use it all at first , can I save the rest and reheat it later ?

Great video and bible lesson too. Keep posting please.

[@inTruthbyGrace]

Hey! She's right Jesus Christ *_IS_* Lord .... Merry Christmas sister!

[@aureliacarr9298]

How long do you cool icing before pouring over cake.

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

Just a few minutes. If you let it sit too long you won't be able to pour it. You do need to give it a few minutes because it will all run off the cake if it is too hot. I usually stir it until it starts to thicken just a little then I know it is ready to pour over the cake.

[@trucker613]

Looks real good, thanks for the bible stories. Can I ask what bible version you all use.

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

+Jack E Thank you :) We all use the KJV, but we also reference other translations. If you don't have E-Sword on your computer I would recommend it. It is a great Bible study, search and reference tool.

[@trucker613]

+The Hillbilly Kitchen - Down Home Country Cooking, Thank you I will check it out. Keep cooking and keep those stories coming.

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

Jack E Thanks :) God Bless You!!!

[@CzarSmitty1963]

Thanks!

[@ritak8051]

Would like to see the directions for the Chocolate Fudge Icing written down, please.

[@louiserobinson6704]

Just in case you’d like to know❤ Seriously, when measuring ingredients in dry measuring cups, dry ingredients are to be over the top and leveled off. And of course liquid ingredients “to the top.” There is more about why it is helpful to measure liquids in a liquid measuring cup, but I use dry more often today too😂😂😂

[@1950jimmyg]

love the,video. do you have your own channel? Nancy

[@mollylamberth5148]

Thanks Samantha

[@sheilac1845]

I tried to cut back on the sugar and it didn't thicken up right but that wasn't using this recipe Best icing over a yellow poke cake

[@shirleyminson9748]

This is good icing, but I really like Ganache. Of course, I like dark chocolate.

[@doriswhite1348]

Great for Valentine's Day dipping strawberries. The commercial ones are horribly expensive and not as fresh.

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

😊

[@dawnmeier2834]

Thank you so very much. I love your recipes. I know something good is going to happen today. Enjoy this wonderful day GOD has blessed us with. GOD bless your family's health and finances. Thank God for all the wonderful blessings. God is absolutely good. Hallelujah praise the LORD. In Jesus' holy name we pray amen 🙌 🙏. Hugs

[@meltsarap]

how big a cake can this recipe cover? thanks

[@mukwah1111]

Don't know how anybody could hate ganache. It is to die for! You must be using an inferior quality of chocolate to make yours. This recipe looks interesting.

[@mtqmtq4929]

😍😍😍😍

[@tater357]

Loved your little bible verse. Can you only imagine having a Ruler as young as 7 years old? Who was the Ruler some might ask? Joash. 2 Kings Chapter 11-21
