Time 25m

Yield Makes 6 1/4 cups (enough to frost one 9-inch layer cake)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/4 cups sugar
5 large egg whites
3 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
9 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled

Steps:

  • Whisk together sugar and egg whites in a heatproof mixing bowl. Place over a pot of simmering water; whisk constantly until sugar is completely dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat. With an electric mixer, whisk on high speed until cool (test by touching bottom of bowl), 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Change to the paddle attachment. With mixer on medium-high speed, add butter, 2 tablespoons at a time, until combined. Beat in chocolate.
