ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Everyone that tried it LOVED it! Very Rich... After everything was combined I set the bowl with frosting in a very large bowl filled with ice and blended until thick and creamy. Be careful not to get any ice/water in the frosting. Blending over the bowl of ice helped to thicken and chill this YUMMY YUMMY frosting! Thank you so much for posting this recipe!
