Is it possible to make chocolate boiled icing? I have a groom's cake to make and he doesn't like buttercream, he likes boiled icing, but he wants chocolate cake w/chocolate icing... Any ideas, suggestions, ANYTHING would be so appreciated. |

I googled chocolate boiled icing and found this one. Haven't tried it, but thought I would let you decide if you wanted to!
2 Heaping Tbsp. cocoa
1 Cup sugar
1/3 cup sweet milk
2 Tbsp. butter
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil gently for 1 minute. Let stand in water and cool. Then beat.

I found this. i always thought boiled icing was like 7-minute frosting with the egg whites. anyways there are a lot of variations here.
BOILED ICING
2 pounds granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups hot water
4 ounces egg whites (about 4 total)
1 tablespoon vanilla
Combine sugar and water. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Boil without stirring to soft ball stage (238 degrees F).
Beat egg whites on high speed until stiff but not dry, using wire whip attachment. Gradually pour syrup over egg whites while beating. Continue beating until icing is of consistency to spread.
Add vanilla. Spread on cake at once.
VARIATIONS:
Bittersweet Icing:
Melt 8 oz unsweetened chocolate over hot water. Gradually stir in 1 1/2 oz margarine or butter. When slightly cool, pour over white icing to form a design.
Candied Fruit Icing:
Add 8 oz chopped candied fruit.
Chocolate Icing:
Add 8 oz melted chocolate.
Coconut Icing:
Frost cake. Sprinkle with 4 oz dry shredded coconut.
Maple Nut Icing:
Delete vanilla. Flavor with 1 1/2 tsp maple flavoring. Add 6 oz chopped nuts.
Maraschino Cherry Icing:
Delete vanilla. Add 1/2 tsp almond extract and 8 oz chopped maraschino cherries.
Peppermint Icing:
Add 8 oz finely crushed peppermint candy.
Makes 2 quarts
