Ingredients:
2 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter 2 1/3 cups confectioners' sugar 3 tablespoons hot water, or more as needed 2 egg yolks, beaten 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Place the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler (or in a metal bowl nestled in a saucepan of boiling water) over medium heat, stirring regularly. When the chocolate is melted, stir in the sugar. Add the hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until smooth. Remove from the heat and gently mix in the egg yolks, vanilla, and salt, stirring after each addition. Blend with a handheld electric mixer on low speed (or by hand) for 1 minute, or until the frosting is smooth. If the frosting is too thick to pour, add more hot water, a little at a time, to achieve a consistency that allows for drizzling. | |
