Frosting recipe with what I have in my fridge/pantry?!


Question:

Frosting recipe with what I have in my fridge/pantry?

I am looking for a frosting recipe with what I already have...don't want to go to the store.

I have vegetable oil, chocolate syrup, butter, sugar, vanilla, eggs, and lots of chocolate candies.

I do NOT have:

powdered sugar, cocoa powder, corn syrup

I would like a chocolate recipe if possible.

Do you have butter? It's not chocolate but...

Classic Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
The whole eggs, whipped until airy, give this buttercream a light, satiny-smooth texture that melts on the tongue.

Makes about 4 cups
4 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
pinch table salt
1 pound unsalted butter (4 sticks), softened, each stick cut into quarters

1. Combine eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt in bowl of standing mixer; place bowl over pan of simmering water. Whisking gently but constantly, heat mixture until thin and foamy and registers 160 degrees on instant-read thermometer.

2. Beat egg mixture on medium-high speed with whisk attachment until light, airy, and cooled to room temperature, about 5 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and add butter, one piece at a time. (After adding half the butter, buttercream may look curdled; it will smooth with additional butter.) Once all butter is added, increase speed to high and beat 1 minute until light, fluffy, and thoroughly combined. (Can be covered and refrigerated up to 5 days.)

Although the frosting might be a little grainy in texture, you can do the following.

(I am not going to give amounts, as it is up to you as to how big a batch you want to make.)

Cream butter and sugar in a bowl. Add chocolate syrup, beat until desired flavor and/or color is achieved. If the mixture is too thin, beat in more sugar. Once the desired thickness is achieved, stir in chocolate candies for added texture.

Or, if you have a food processor, you can grind the sugar to powdered sugar. After all that's all powdered sugar is.

Fluffy White Frosting
Mix 1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup water, 1/3 tsp cream of tartar together in a saucepan and cover. Bring to a rolling boil. Uncover and cook until syrup spins a 6 to 8 inch thread. Just before syrup is ready beat 2 egg whites until stiff enough to hold a point. Pour hot syrup very slowly in a thin stream into the beaten egg whites while beating. Continue beating until frosting holds peaks. Blend in 1 teaspoon vanilla.
