This week’s recipe is for what my sister calls an “outstanding” no-cook chocolate icing. The recipe is one she got from her mother-in-law Novella Fox of Taylorsville, NC.
Novella’s Fudge Icing
1 stick margarine, melted
1 box confectioner’s sugar, sifted
5 tablespoons cocoa powder
pinch of salt
milk (to make creamy)
vanilla extract (1 tablespoon or a little less)
Melt margarine, mix with other ingredients on low speed of mixer. Use just enough milk for a creamy texture. Taste to make sure you have enough vanilla to take away the sweet, sweet taste of the confectioner’s sugar. May add more vanilla if needed.
