Chocolate Topping

Ingredients:

454 g unsweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup icing sugar
1/2 cup corn oil
40 gram Van Houten cocoa powder
25 g instant coffee
pinch of salt

Method:

Mix everything except salt and vanilla essence in a pan and cook over low fire.
Cook until the mixture becomes thick. Remove from heat and add the vanilla essence and salt. Let it cool before you spread the topping over the cake.

*On our first attempt, we used sweetened condensed milk plus 1/2 cup of icing sugar.
The topping was too sweet and thick. But, it was delicious.
I think if you want to use sweetened condensed milk, just add 1/4 of icing sugar to the mixture.
