directions

  • Roughly chop the chocolate and put into a food processor.
  • Pulse briefly to chop fine.
  • 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.

  1. 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!
     
  2. I've used this recipe several times and my family LOVES it. Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. This was so easy - thickens fast upon refridgeration - I even used lite cream - great success so thanks a lot.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

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? ;) <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> My Rating System: ***** Five Stars: LOVED IT! This will be in my collection for years to come. **** Four Stars: Pretty damn good, however, there is something I might alter, even if it's something small. *** Three Stars: This was alright, but I would have to really change something in order to keep it. ** Two Stars: Didn't really like. Probably will never make again. * One star: This just doesn't fit our taste, or did NOT turn out as posted. Will never make again.
