6
ingredients
- 14 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 1 1⁄2 cups whipping cream
directions
- Roughly chop the chocolate and put into a food processor.

- Heat the cream in a saucepan just to the boiling point.
- With the motor running, pour the hot cream into the chocolate and process until they are completely melted/blended.
- Transfer the frosting to a bowl.
- If you plan to use it immediately, chill the frosting by placing it over a bowl of ice or let it cool at room temperature.
- It must be cool, not cold, to be spreadable.
- Once cooled, the frosting can be whipped to create a lighter frosting variation or used as is.
- Refrigerate the cake after applying the frosting.
- Makes enough to frost a 2 layer cake, about 2-1/2 cups.

Great frosting, smooth and really easy to whip up. I used a half portion of this recipe with Black Chocolate Coffee Cake (Recipe #9490), and it covered the top and sides perfectly. Great combo! -
I've used this recipe several times and my family LOVES it. Thanks for sharing! -
This was so easy - thickens fast upon refridgeration - I even used lite cream - great success so thanks a lot.

I just turned 24 years old, and have been married for a little more than two years. My husband is my best friend, and I would be completely lost without him...which is why I scour this website looking for the perfect recipes to make for my sweetie!!
I love comfort foods, sweets, ice cream ( Pretty much ALL things bad for you). I also love a good cup of coffee, and love love love green tea. However, I am trying very HARD to change my eating habits, and live a better lifestyle. So far its a losing battle, but at least I'm trying, right? ;)
