Chocolate Royal Icing
By: Cathleen Colbert
Jan 5, 2004
I tried to make brown royal icing to decorate bear shaped cookies. But even with good quality food color paste, I couldn't get it dark enough. This was the answer.
4 cups
Ingredients
- 1 lb powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup cocoa
- 7 tablespoons warm water
- 3 tablespoons powdered egg whites (meringue powder)
Directions
1
Mix powdered sugar, cocoa and egg whites.2
Add water slowly until the icing is the consistency of thick frosting for outlining and thin with more water to fill.

Thanks so much for posting this recipe! I was having a really hard time achieving true black that wasn't bitter with my regular royal icing recipe. This worked like a charm! And tasted great too
