Pourable Fudge Icing Recipes

HOMEMADE POURABLE ICING

Steps:

• In a large bowl or stand mixer, stir butter well until very light and fluffy. A stand mixer works best.
• Add in powdered sugar, stir until combined.

• Slowly add in milk, one tablespoon at a time. Mix well as you add milk. If butter separates, slow your milk additions and be sure to increase stirring inbetween additions.
• Stir after each addition of milk to see if it has reached a consistency that will pour. It will look thick, but a little runny.
• Slowly drizzle over cake in a circular motion, making sure it evenly coats all sides. Use an offset spatula or butter knife to smooth out any lumps or uneven areas.
• Pop cake in fridge and let set for 5-10 minutes.
• Repeat icing drizzle step for a thicker more fondant like coat, then return to fridge. Repeat as needed.
• If adding sprinkles or decorations, add them before setting, or they will not stick well.
• If icing is too thin, add more powdered sugar. If too thick, more milk.
