I made half a recipe for this to frost one dozen cupcakes (there was a bit of frosting leftover). Also, I omitted the chocolate to have vanilla frosting. Good and easy, and without all the preservatives and weird ingredients that are in store-bought frosting. Since I only needed 1 TB of evaporated milk, I froze the rest of the milk (it lasts for up to 2 months).

This frosting is TOO good! I made a Devil's Food Cake and used this to frost it, while I was making the cake my girlfriend made the frosting. Everyone assumed that the cake would overshadow the frosting and I would be named a fantastic baker. However, the frosting totally outshined the cake and I was left feeling inadequate...but full! :D One of my friends said that it was the MOST decadent cake she had ever had, and that's entirely thanks to this frosting, I don't think I've ever had anything quite like it!

This was an excellent addition to my flourless chocolate cake that I made over the holidays. I will add a note that I had enough frosting to frost about 10 cakes, but the frosting would have been worth it! For a holiday touch I substituted peppermint extract for the vanilla extract, it gave it a nice holiday touch, and something a little unexpected for the tastebuds!

This recipe is wonderful! I cut it in 1/2 and there was plenty to frost a 9X13 pan of brownies. The taste of the frosting was excellent without being overwhelming. The only change I made was I used heavy whipping cream as I had it on hand versus the evaporated milk. I will never buy a can again. It is very cost effective!

I made this to frost my David's Yellow Cake. When I first tried it was a little uncertain if I liked it, but the more I tried it the more I liked it. My friend said it tasted like real frosting and not that junk in the tub off the shelf. We all thought it was really tasty! I will definitely make it again, super, super easy.

This frosting was a complete bust for me! It was incredibly thick and bitter and not very good at all. I ended up doctoring it up with milk and even melting some milk chocolate into it, but it still wasn't very good. I wouldn't recommend it.

This was awesome. I used it to frost my mother-in-law's birthday cake and it was a huge hit. My husband had to restrain me from eating it straight from the bowl. It was pretty soft the night that I made it, but set well in the fridge overnight. I wish it was a bit darker, mine was a very light brown... I may use a bit more chocolate next time.

Delectable and so easy to prepare.. beautiful consistency. I added a tablespoon of butter to the chocolate before microwaving. Other than that, didn't change a thing. It's perfect as is. I used this icing with the "Black Magic Cake." Yummmm!!!!

Excellent! I had to substitute the 4 oz of baker's chocolate for 12T/4T of cocoa powder and oil, respectively, but it worked fine as always. Also, I used skim milk instead of the evaporated. Even with these small changes, the recipe delivers on both ease and taste! I won't ever buy another can of frosting again!

This is exactly what I was looking for! It makes a good amount so I had some left, but not for long. Beware: you'll want to eat any left right off of the spoon!
