Ingredients

  • 16 oz Chocolate Semisweet or Dark, Roughly chopped or Shredded
  • 8 oz Heavy cream Warm

Instructions

  • Add chocolate in a large glass bowl
  • Pour warm heavy cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes. 
  • Whisk it together until all the chocolate is melted and you have a smooth mixture. 
  • If it's still a little lumpy, heat in the microwave for 10 seconds and whisk gently until smooth.
  • Let it sit at room temperature until firm but still soft, similar to a peanut butter consistency. 
  • Chill in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
  • Scoop out frosting into a piping bag that's attached with Tip 1M. You don't have to whip again.
  • Pipe swirls on cupcakes or use it to decorate cakes. Enjoy!
