For a richer flavor, consider using dark cocoa powder. Be sure to stir the frosting constantly while cooking to prevent scorching and ensure even heat distribution. The cooling time may vary depending on the ambient temperature. Keep an eye on the frosting's consistency and adjust the cooling time accordingly. If the frosting becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of evaporated milk at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
