Cake failure - what to do?

Made a chocolate cake today - which I've made before with great success. However, this time my choc fudge icing is way too runny and its all went to hell.

Icing consists of evaporated milk, sugar, chocolate and butter. Usually, couple hours in the fridge and it thickens lovely and can be sort of...whipped. This time though...its just a thickish, runny consistency. I've added some icing sugar, which did thicken it a bit but it's already plenty sweet enough without adding loads more sugar. I've put it in the freezer, looks like it's worked but as soon as it's out, it starts to sorta melt again.

It's delicious icing. Sponges are cooked beautifully but combined, its now a pile of sticky, cakey mess.

Do I lob it all in a dish and claim its chocolate pudding? Cake pops are the obvious answer but I've no sticks and we are all adults, so cake pops don't really appeal.

Anyone got ant ideas of what I can do with my failure to make it serve-able?

I'd go with serving warm as chocolatey pudding. I'd be delighted with that.

Yes, warm chocolate pudding with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
