Chocolate Sour Cream Frosting

This is a delicious chocolate frosting that is not too sweet. It is equally good on chocolate or yellow cakes, and the only frosting I use for my chocolate sauerkraut cake.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Yields: 2 Cups

Ingredients

• 1  cup  semi-sweet chocolate chips (6oz pkg)
• 4  tablespoons butter
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 1⁄2 cup sour cream
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 2 1⁄2-2 3⁄4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted

Directions

1. In a small sauce pan, over low heat, melt chocolate and butter together, stirring until smooth.
2. Remove pan from heat, blend in sour cream, vanilla and salt.
3. Gradually add enough confectioner's sugar to make frosting a spreading consistancy.
4. Beat together well (by hand).
5. Spread on cooled cake.
