Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and sea salt until well combined. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)

02

Step
1 mins

Pour in the evaporated milk and add the vegetable shortening to the saucepan. (Estimated time: 1 minute)

03

Step
9 mins

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly to prevent scorching, until the mixture comes to a full, rolling boil that cannot be stirred down. (Estimated time: 8-10 minutes)

04

Step
1 mins

Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, remove the saucepan from the heat immediately. (Estimated time: 1 minute)

05

Step
18 mins

Allow the frosting to cool slightly, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a spreadable consistency. This will take approximately 15-20 minutes.

06

Step
8 mins

While the frosting is still warm and spreadable, generously apply it to your favorite cake or cupcakes. The frosting will set as it cools, creating a beautiful, glossy finish. (Estimated time: 5-10 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using dark cocoa powder.
Be sure to stir the frosting constantly while cooking to prevent scorching and ensure even heat distribution.
The cooling time may vary depending on the ambient temperature. Keep an eye on the frosting's consistency and adjust the cooling time accordingly.
If the frosting becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of evaporated milk at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
