Nice light flavor, but with a gritty texture

Used this last night on the Dark Chocolate Bacon cupcakes from this site. It is an easy frosting to make and it is perfect!

My first time making frosting and it was a success and huge hit on my first time chocolate cake with raspberry filling! I will continue to use this frosting recipe!

This was good although I found it a tad grainy. I used soy milk rather than evaporated. If you want something really gooey use a frosting that includes melted chocolate but for frosting cupcakes (as we did) this is perfect.

So good! I used Hershey's Special Dark cocoa and (oddly enough) fat free half and half, since that's what I had on hand. It was perfect for spreading and didn't harden at all. I got rave reviews- thanks!!

Loved this recipe! Easy to make and great tasting. I did not have evaporated milk, so I substituted milk and turned out great. I will be trying with evaporated milk to see if there is a difference.

So delicious!!! Way better than canned frosting and so easy to make! I will never buy frosting from the store again. Came out so fluffy and had just the right amount of chocolate! Everyone loved it! Thanks for the recipe!

Very chocolaty and easy to make. I was just disappointed that it wasn't as light and fluffy as I had hoped. It was more dense and creamy. I made a 1.5 batch and it was just enough for my layer cake. Any less wouldn't have iced the entire cake. I will definitely use this again.

This recipe is not all that. I know Tracy meant well, but I made it, just to try something different. It was way to "runny" and the taste was not that great. I'll stick to my moms recipe which is out of this world. Sorry I can't rate it higher-I have to be honest.

First time making frosting. This looked fantastic and tasted great. Highly reccomend! No more need for store-bought! Not a great chef here, just joined this site! This is my first review. Maybe next time I will make the brownies from scratch too. :)

Great recipe! Very tasty and easy to use. Nice and simple to make, and tastes delicious. Tastes very chocolaty, which I liked. I ended up adding an extra tablespoon of the milk, to make it a bit creamier (and easy to spread), and subbed half-and-half for the evaporated milk.

This icing was delicious! Tasted almost like the kind in the can (yum) but more fluffy which made it perfect! Better than buttercream. Just enough chocolate. I made a batch and 1/2 and was able to frost and fill a 2 layer 9" round cake.

Even if you are not fond of powdered sugar frostings, you will like this one!! It is super yummy, does not taste like powdered sugar like other recipes, and has the perfect chocolate flavor... Two thumbs up!! God Bless YOU!
