Recipes Desserts Frostings and Icings Chocolate Creamy Chocolate Frosting 4.7 (2,460) 1,968 Reviews 383 Photos This milk chocolate frosting is smooth, creamy, and not too dark. I've been using this chocolate frosting recipe forever, and several friends now use it as their "favorite frosting!" I just wanted to share it with chocolate lovers everywhere! It will frost, but not fill, an 8- or 9-inch cake.
