Ingredients

• 1/2 Cup butter, room temperature
• 1/4 Cup shortening
• 1/3 Cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Preparation

Step 1

Cream together the butter and shortening. Sift the cocoa with the confectioners’ sugar and add to the creamed mixture. Mix together adding 1 tablespoon at a time of milk to keep mixture smooth. Don’t add more than 1/4 cup milk (I only needed the 2 tablespoons the recipe called for). Add the hot fudge topping and the vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
