Saw Ina making this for her 39th wedding anniversary and the frosting looked great! I also thought it would be better than the average buttercream since all i can taste is butter from that. hope u enjoy as much as i will.

Time 15m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb bittersweet chocolate
12 ounces semisweet chocolate
3/4 cup egg white, at room temperature (4 to 5 extra-large eggs)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 lbs unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 teaspoons instant espresso powder, dissolved in 1 1/2 teaspoons water
3 tablespoons dark rum (optional)

Steps:

  • Chop the chocolates and place them in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan simmering water. Stir until melted and set aside until cooled to room temperature.
  • Mix the egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Place the bowl of egg whites over the pan of simmering water and heat the egg whites until they are warm to the touch, about 5 minutes. Return the bowl to the electric mixer and whisk on high speed for 5 minutes, or until the meringue is cool and holds a stiff peak.
  • Add the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, while beating on medium speed. Scrape down the bowl, add the melted chocolate, vanilla, espresso, and rum, if using, and mix for 1 minute or until the chocolate is completely blended inches If the buttercream seems very soft, allow it to cool, and beat it again.
