    Yes, absolutely! Scroll to the recipe card below for the conventional and Thermomix methods. 

    What do I do if my chocolate icing is too thick to spread?

    Add a little more boiling water and mix to combine. 

    What do I do if my chocolate icing is too runny?

    Add a little more sifted icing sugar and mix to combine. 

    Should I use pure icing sugar or icing sugar mixture in my icing?

    It's totally up to you! Pure icing sugar will make the icing set firm (this is my preference) whereas icing sugar mixture will set soft.

    Notes

    Recipe Tips
    Equipment - this is a simple melt and mix recipe that does not require beaters or a mixer. 
    Storing the slice - store the slice in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month. 
    Egg-free alternative - follow this recipe for an egg-free option. 
    Chocolate icing - this is a very basic chocolate icing recipe. If you find the icing is too thick, simply add a little more boiling water. If you find it's too runny, add a little extra icing sugar. 
    Icing sugar - You can use either pure icing sugar or icing sugar mixture in this recipe. Pure icing sugar will make the icing set firm (this is my preference) whereas icing sugar mixture will set soft.

      Very easy recipe to complete. Almost nailed it, not quite cooked, but that's just how we like it. Fudgy and chocolatey. Definitely a keeper.

        I agree. I think I'll add more baking powder. Super delicious though.
