Why You’ll Love This Recipe? 

Let me give you a few reasons why this recipe is a must-try for you! 

  • It’s all about Chocolate: To make the super delicious frosting; I have used rich Belgian dark chocolate along with aromatic cocoa powder. The combination of the two gives the most chocolatey flavour possible. You will definitely love it. 
  • The Texture: The texture of this frosting is pretty amazing. Along with being super chocolatey and rich, it’s fluffy and smooth at the same time. It’s perfect for spreading as filling as well as piping. 
  • Super Easy To Make: A complicated recipe is the last thing we want while making anything. The process and recipe is so easy that anyone can make it. With just six easily accessible ingredients, you can make this amazing frosting.

Important Ingredients Used In The Recipe

  • Unsalted Butter: To make the frosting velvety and fluffy, softened unsalted butter is used. Beating the butter helps incorporate air into the frosting, which makes it light and fuller. 
  • Cocoa Powder: Good quality natural cocoa powder is a must for the robust chocolatey flavour. 
  • Dark Chocolate: How can I not add Belgian dark chocolate to get the most chocolatey flavour?! I have used Van houten 46.5% dark couverture chocolate. It has the best balance of sweet and bitter taste. 
  • Icing sugar: Since we are using cocoa powder and dark chocolate, we would require sweetness to balance out the bitterness of the chocolate flavour. Ensure to use sifted icing sugar to eliminate lumps. 
  • Vanilla Essence and Salt: Both ingredients work to elevate the overall flavour composition of the frosting. Without them, you might feel that the frosting is bland. 

How To Make Chocolate Fudge Frosting 

Preparation: Start by collecting each and every ingredient and tool to make the frosting. You will find the exact measurements in the recipe card below. 

Melt Chocolate: First, chop the chocolate into small chunks and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the chocolate in the microwave stirring in between to avoid burning. Keep the melted chocolate aside to cool. 

Beat Butter: In a separate mixing bowl, take softened unsalted butter and beat it using an electric hand beater set at medium speed. Beat until the butter has increased in volume and becomes fluffy. 

Add Icing Sugar: Now, add the sifted icing sugar in batches and continue beating. 

Add Cocoa Powder and Salt: Once icing sugar has been incorporated, mix in sifted cocoa powder along with salt. Beat it until everything blends well. 

Add Melted Chocolate: Finally, it’s time to add the cooled melted chocolate to the buttercream. Gradually add the chocolate and beat the frosting until the entire chocolate has been incorporated and the frosting is velvety smooth. 

Chef’s Tips For The Recipe

Tip For Melting Chocolate

It is always recommended to chop the chocolate into small chunks so that it melts fast and easily. Uneven and large chunks can lead to uneven melting, which can, in turn, burn the chocolate as well. 

Also, whenever melting chocolate in the microwave, heat it in blasts of 20-30 seconds, then stop to stir it and again heat it for the same duration. 

Sifting Ingredients

Icing sugar and cocoa powder must be sifted in order to avoid lumps and, ultimately, grittiness in the frosting. Sifted ingredients blend well into the buttercream. 

How To Store Chocolate Fudge Frosting 

Once made, use it immediately for the best-tasting experience. You can also use leftover frosting or make it in advance by storing it in the refrigerator. It must be used within 3-4 days or freeze it for up to two months.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Can I use Dutch-processed cocoa powder? 

Yes, you can! Dutch-processed cocoa powder has a more intense chocolate flavour. This is because the acidity that is there in the natural cocoa powder is removed, making it more dark. So if you like more dark flavours, you can replace the natural cocoa powder with a Dutch one. 

Can I replace the dark couverture with the dark compound? 

If you wish to use dark compound chocolate, you definitely can. However, this will alter the taste and slight texture of the frosting.

“I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date”
Before this program I knew a little about manifestations, but as I discovered during the program, I had a lot of limiting beliefs that kept me from fully embracing and accepting myself as a manifestor.
During this program I became more aware of what manifestation is and how powerful I am. I become more aware of my guides, of my highest self and that I can pull the best of my highest self into my present. Since this program I no longer wrestle with trying to convince myself that what I desire will happen. I know that it has happened, it is done and it is mine, here and now. I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date, my eyesight has improved and I no longer need glasses for distance vision, only for reading, I gave myself a make-over as part of my commitment to my renewal and I began to de-clutter my space.

“My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes”
Joining “The Art of Manifesting” was a life-changing decision for me. This is now the third time going through the quest and focusing on different areas of manifestation.
Regan is a powerful guide and she walks the talk.
This 28-day journey was a blend of practical techniques and profound energetical activations. I learned to visualize my goals clearly, expand my possibilities, and overcome the limitations holding me back from living a life i desire. The quest’s unique approach to identity hacking helped me align my inner self with my aspirations, making the manifestation process more effective and authentic.
The biggest takeaway for me was the acceleration of manifestation by bending time and tapping into the highest frequencies. The techniques taught in the quest enabled me to see results much faster than I expected. My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes, and goals that once seemed unattainable are now within reach.
I’m beyond grateful for the wisdom and tools I’ve gained from this quest and Regan. It’s not just about manifesting; it’s about transforming your entire lifestyle. I highly recommend “The Art of Manifesting” to anyone looking to turn their dreams into reality.

“This course and listening to Regan’s podcasts gave me the tools to acknowledge my blocks and mindsets around drinking”
I have so enjoyed this journey with Regan, I am a new person as a result of this quest. I now have new beliefs & mindsets that I keep working on daily, hourly. A kinder and more compassionate version of me has emerged over this journey, and I love her!
This quest has resulted in me finding the lost me, the me that has been hidden under the voices of doubt, fear or just lack of awareness that I get to run my life not the other voices in my head or family and people around me. When we wire ourselves to the future version of us, then we make different choices and we are already a different person!
Thank you Regan, thank you Mindvalley, thank you tribe!!!! ❤❤, I love you all and wish you a magical Christmas and hope our paths may cross one day at Mindvalley events.

“My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest”
Before taking this Quest I believed that the prerequisites of success were hard work, long hours, timing and a degree of luck; “1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” was my mantra. Trying to achieve success with this mindset was exhausting, frustrating and unsustainable.

 

I then discovered The Art of Manifesting … and was blown away.

 

The foundational teaching of focusing on your inner world to achieve has been transformative in the way I live my life. I now know that cultivating the feeling of already being in possession of that which you want, accelerates the manifestation of what you desire.

 

My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest, and have discovered a path to manifest greater abundance in the year to come. But perhaps the biggest shift I experienced during this quest now knowing that I am worthy and deserving of abundance. Regan, I am eternally grateful to you, thank you :-)

“Now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered”
Before this program, I believed somewhat in manifestation but never knew how to do it, or if it was real, and the little bit I did know ended up being completely wrong! This Quest has not only taught me how to manifest and put me on the path to doing it the right way, but I was actually able to manifest what I had set at the beginning.
I never thought it would actually come true, but I committed myself to the process and gave it 100% every day. And now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered. It’s truly blowing my mind.
I had a financial goal for the end of the Quest, and different opportunities for selling my artwork started coming up, and the deals are coming out almost to the exact number I had set.
Not only that, but I have truly transformed into a better version of myself in these short weeks, more than I had in the last few years, that my spouse has even noticed.
I’m so excited for what’s to come next and so grateful for this program. Thank you.

“I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design”
I joined Mindvalley on New Year’s 2023. I am excited to share how life has significantly changed in the first 90 days of the year. Beginning with the Silva Method, I envisioned and transformed a dysfunctional personal relationship, into a loving, caring separation, allowing me the peace and serenity to follow my path, and my partner to choose his. In February while on the Art of Manifesting Quest I listed my intent to have a book written by May 2023, and have a speaking engagement booked by December 2023.
I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design, and a journal for Women seeking a deeper connection with themselves, also in design. Both will be uploaded via KDP Amazon self-publishing by May 1st.
I have booked a speaking engagement for May with the intent of having published books with me for sale.
Most importantly – this morning I changed my profile from ‘Document writer’ to ‘Author.’
Gratitude abounds!!!
