Directions
- 1
In a medium bowl, whisk the sifted egg yolk into the whole milk until fully incorporated and smooth.
- 2
Pour the mixture into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir in the sweetened condensed milk, butter, and cocoa powder until combined.
- 3
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent scorching.

Remove from heat as soon as the frosting thickens and coats the back of the spatula, then let it rest 3–4 minutes before pouring over your dessert.
💡 Chef's Tip
For a deeper chocolate intensity, swap the cocoa mix for unsweetened cocoa powder and add a tablespoon of sugar. Apply while warm for a perfectly smooth finish.
