Time 1h

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (1 stick)

Steps:

  • Place chocolate, corn syrup, and salt in food processor.
  • In small saucepan, bring cream to boil.
  • With machine running, add hot cream in steady stream and blend until chocolate melts, about 1 minute.
  • Stop food processor and add confectioners' sugar, processing until sugar is incorporated, about 30 seconds. While machine is running, add butter, a piece at a time, and process until completely smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Place frosting in medium bowl and refrigerate, stirring frequently, until cooled and very thick, at least 30 minutes. You'll know it's ready when a spoon can stand up in it.
