Directions
- 1
Combine the sweetened condensed milk, margarine, and cocoa powder in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- 2
Stir all the ingredients together with a silicone spatula until fully combined and smooth.
- 3
Place over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent the mixture from scorching on the bottom.
- 4
Keep stirring until the frosting begins to bubble and pull away from the sides of the pan.
- 5
Remove from heat immediately and pour the warm frosting over your cake for a glossy, even finish.
💡 Chef's Tip
Always pour the frosting while it's still hot — it firms up as it cools. For an extra-glossy finish, stir in a teaspoon of butter just before removing the pan from the heat.
