Chocolate Buttercream Icing image

This is the "Kathleen's Chocolate Icing" from the "New Basics Cookbook". It is a fabulous (old-fashioned) buttercream frosting that isn't too sweet and can almost double for mousse! Also, I really like this icing for a chocolate mayonnaise cake!

Time 1h20m

Yield 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
2/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2-2/3 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Combine the chocolate and butter in a small heavy saucepan and melt over very low heat.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the milk and vanilla, and transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl.
  • Add the sugar gradually, beating with an electric mixer. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth--it will be runny.
  • Refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour, beating every 15 minutes. (The icing will stiffen.).
