Quick Fudge Frosting

Desserts

2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla

Bring first 4 ingredients to full boil and boil for exactly one minute. (In very damp weather, boil for 1 1/4 minutes). Add vanilla and beat until spreading consistency. It helps to set the pan in ice water, while beating, but do not get ANY into the frosting.
