I used this frosting with the "buttermilk chocolate cake", thats on this site. I wanted a whipped frosting instead of a fudge frosting. The frosting was delicious! I wind up using almost a pint of whipping cream so I could get the consistency I wanted. Also after I folded the whipping cream in I beat the frosting until light and fluffy. I didn't frost the cake immediately like the recipe states. I put it in the fridge for about 30 to 45 min. prior to frosting. I made a double layer cake, so in between the layers I made a cream cheese frosting and beat the rest of the whipping cream ( about a 1/2 cup was left) in with the cream cheese mixture for a filling. The cake just melts in your mouth!!!!

This is the best frosting that I have ever made.I chilled it for 45 minutes like other reviews suggested before spreading.I did add 1 extra oz of chocolate, I also added 1 pkg of cream cheese at the end. I beat it until all the lumps were gone. It turned out great!

We took the suggestion of chellebelle and found the chocolate frosting to have a nice whipped cream texture.

Very yummy recipe. I made this with white chocolate and vanilla pudding mix, and let it sit in the fridge for about an hour before icing my cake. By the time I used it, the pudding mix had set and wasn't at all gritty. I'll definitely make this again!

Simply "dreamy"... light, fluffy, creamy, and satiny looking. Not too sweet with a pudding flavor. Delicious! Want to avoid the fat content in the recipe? Here's how you do it: Purchase fat-free condensed milk and, in place of the heavy cream, use one 12 fl. oz. can of fat-free evaporated milk. Omit the water in the recipe. Chill the evaporated milk in its own can (do not open it yet) to the point of it almost starting to freeze. Poor the chilled milk in a blender cup and whip until it triples in volume. Add it to the thick frosting base and mix slowly in a folding motion until well combined. Let it sit still for a few minutes to thicken before you start frosting your cake. Frosting made with evaporated milk will be very soft. Drop it by dollops on the top of your cake and near the top edges. It will slowly spread on its own and, with your guidance, it will smoothly slide down the sides of the cake, forming a thick layer as it goes down on its own. If this type of consistency is a bit too thin to your liking, put the frosting in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to 1 hour before you spread it on your cake. Chill frosted cake for several hours prior to serving so the frosting can set. The frosting has a nice satiny look, which makes the cake look even yummier.

This was very good. Easy to make and went great on the yellow cake I made for a birthday party. So easy to spread. Not real sweet, and definately has a chocolate pudding flavor.

Fantastic recipe. This is not like any frosting I have ever made. Here's a great thing to try: instead of 1/2 cup of water, add 1/2 cup of coffee liquer (such as Kahlua or Starbuck's). This give the frosting a great mocha flavor!

Not really a frosting as its name suggests, but quite good on icecream. Its more like a fudge sause than a frosting. The texture is like a glaze. I tried it on angel food cake and it was delicious. I wouldn't reccommend it on a layor cake though.

I wanted a very "whipped cream" type of chocolate frosting and this was the closest I could find. I followed the recipe with some exceptions. Instead of 1/2 cup of water, I used 1/2 cup of heavy cream. (I'd bought a pint and didn't want it to go to waste, so I figured it couldn't hurt.) Then, once the beaten whipped cream had been folded into the mixture, I didn't think the frosting was fluffy enough for what I wanted. I also could still detect some grittiness from the pudding mix even though I beat it with an electric hand mixer for quite a while. So I took the remainder of my pint of whipping cream and beat that up and folded it in too. The texture came out exactly what I was looking for. It was easy to spread immediately. The texture is light and the flavor is chocolatey with just enough richness.

This recipe was time consuming to make and the colour was milky. It was very sweet and in the end, I didn't use it. The cake turned out great and it seemed a waste to ruin it with this frosting. Expensive and didn't use it anyway.

This recipe goes amazingly well with desserts that are already sweet, but need an extra touch. It is especially good in chocolate eclairs, because it won't overpower the filling.

Delicious! I used this frosting on chocolate cream filled cupcakes the 1st time I made it and on the Chocolate Cavity Maker Cake from this site the 2nd time. It's absolutely great tasting because its not too sweet. The 1st time I made it the frosting was runny. The 2nd time I made it I realized that it was runny the 1st time because I didn't whip the whippping cream first.

This is the best chocholate frosting recipe i've ever made. It's so creamy and works great with a ganache. I do add another square of chocolate for a bit more consistancy. Also refridgerate for at least an hour before spreading onto cake.
