The Best Chocolate Glaze


Today's recipe is one I think you'll love. This chocolate glaze/icing is one of the best I've ever made. It's creamy and not-to-overwhelmingly sweet. My secret ingredients? Nestle Nesquik powder and salt. The salt tones down the sweetness, making the icing a little less sickly sweet and the Quik adding a spalsh of creamyness, along with the milk. This icing contains only six basic ingredients you probably have lying around your house!
  • Cocoa Powder
  • Quik Powder
  • Butter
  • Powdered/Icing Sugar
  • Milk
  • Salt

Pretty simple, right? Now, the recipe:


The Best Chocolate Icing

Ingredients
  • 4 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
  • 2 Tablespoons Nesquik
  • 2 cups Icing Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup + 1 Tablespoon Milk

To Make:
  1. In a medium bowl whisk together cocoa, Nesquik, icing sugar, and salt.
  2. Add in 1/4 cup of milk and butter then combine.
  3. Finally, add in the rest of the milk and beat out any lumps. 
  4. Enjoy this super simple and super delicious chocolate icing!

I hope you love this recipe as much as I do and be sure to tell me how it worked for you!
