Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs sifted confectioners' sugar (powdered )
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1/4 cup liquid glucose or 1/4 cup white corn syrup
  • 1 1/2 tbsp glycerine
  • 2 tbsp vegetable shortening (optional)
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 1 tsp flavoring such clear vanilla extract or 1 tsp almond extract, paste or 1 tsp liquid, coloring if desired

Directions:

  1. Place sifted confectioners’ sugar into a large bowl and make a well in the center.
  2. Pour the water into small saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin on top to soften for about 5 minutes.
  3. Gently heat the gelatin and stir until it is dissolved and clear. Do not boil.
  4. Remove from the heat and add the glucose or syrup, glycerine and shortening, stirring until well blended.
  5. Pour the mixture into the well of sugar and mix until most of the sugar is blended.
  6. Knead with your hands until all of the sugar is combined and the mixture becomes stiff.
  7. Knead in melted chocolate. If the mixture is very sticky, add small amounts of confectioners’ sugar.
  8. Shape the mixture into a ball, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature overnight in an airtight container.
  9. To make a chocolate brown colored fondant without the chocolate taste, knead in brown icing color with a small amount of red icing color to white fondant.
