About Chocolate icing

Chocolate icing is a sweet chocolate-flavoured coating or decoration for foods. The name specifies an icing with chocolate character but does not establish whether it contains chocolate or cocoa, or what other ingredients are used.

Its consistency may be soft and spreadable, suitable for piping, or more fluid for coating; some forms set after application. It is commonly used to finish baked goods and other foods. Colour, sweetness, firmness, and chocolate intensity vary with the formulation and how it is applied.
