Chocolate Fudge Frosting

By Texaschef11

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 4 1oz squares baking chocolate
• 1 lb sifted powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 cup whipping cream

Preparation

Step 1

Sift sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle attachment.
In a double boiler, melt the butter and chocolate together. Stir in the vanilla.
With the mixer on low, slowly pour the chocolate into the powdered sugar. The frosting will be very thick and hard to mix.
Add the whipping cream and beat until smooth. You may not need all the whipping cream, so add it slowly.
As the frosting cools it will thicken.
