I needed a quick, easy, and food coloring-free frosting recipe for a birthday playdate, and this one really came through! It works up fast in the microwave, and, as a bonus, you dirty exactly one bowl and a set of mixer beaters. (Which my guys wouldn’t lick. Because they are WEIRDOS.) To turn these into funny face cupcakes, I used store-bought candy eyes and a quick squiggle of white frosting for the mouth. (For my cupcake recipe please visit my Creamsicle Cake post.)
The kids were tickled pink by the variety of expressions on the faces, and we’ll just pretend I did that on purpose, rather than that I couldn’t have made them identical if my life depended on it, okay?

-
Combine your chocolate chips with the condensed milk, butter, and vanilla in a Pyrex casserole dish.

Cover and microwave for 20 seconds.

Stir and repeat until the butter is completely melted.

Add powdered sugar and whip with a hand mixer.

Frost your cake before the frosting cools completely. Be careful not to put it on too thickly, as it will "slide" if you do.
Recipe Notes
Frosts approximately 3 dozen cupcakes. Add any embellishments quickly or they won't stick once the frosting "sets."
Great recipe for icing – thanks!
Great recipe. So simple! I have some Cayenne Chocolate cake mix I received and I think this will top that off nicely.
