I am looking for a good fudgy buttercream recipe. I found this recipe http://allrecipes.com/recipe/chocolate-fudge-buttercream-frosting/
I may have done it wrong. Added too much milk or something, but it just wasn't the thicker consistency I was looking for. Does anyone know of a good recipe? Something that is thicker and not as smooth as a regular buttercream.
This is what I use;
1 pound powder sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup boiling water
1/3 cup butter
1 teapoon vanilla
combine dry ingredients, add the butter and mix well, add the water and vanilla mix well. It will look thin but it will get thick and fudgy. It has a very good crust also.
I gave up trying to find the perfect chocolate buttercream and now I just use ganache straight up. It's yummy and rich.

I hear ya, Sillywabbitz. I've searched for 2 years for a thick, fudgey, buttercream. I made a fabulous recipe once by accident. I just threw in a whole bunch of left-over stuff I had on hand and it tasted perfect! However.......I didn't keep track as I was flinging in this and that, and by the time I tasted it the next day, (AFTER I'd thrown out the trash), I couldn't remember.
After a lot of research, I've determined that the thick, fudgey, frosting you get on bakery cakes uses a commercial product called "Fudge Base". It does not come in small, hobby-baker-sized quantities. So, like you, I've just done a default to whipped, dark chocolate ganache for fillings, and non-whipped dark chocolate ganache for "frosting".
Yep. I worked at Baskin Robbins as a kid and I was trying to figure out their fudge frosting they use on their ice cream pies...taste awesome but it is that commercial fudge stuff so I am happy to stick with my 2 ingredient yummy ganache:)
Dear, again in the valentine's day.I don't know how many of you have me to your chocolate, but I see clearly...This year I can send--to reduce weight tea?

Yes ganache is yummy but I wanted something else to put in the center of my cake as I used ganache for the outer coating. So my "death by chocolate" ended up like so: cake, buttercream, cake, mousse, cake buttercream, cake, then all covered with ganache and topped with mini chocolate chips. I sold it for $50.
