So tonight.....I decided to bake a cake and I watched to use a chocolate icing, so I searched and searched the net for a good recipe. I came across one on the Martha Stewart website and it has to be
the most amazing, best tasting chocolate icing I've ever had or made!
Here is the recipe below but you can also see it at this link....I just used a different form of chocolate than they did.
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup egg whites (about 6 large)
- 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 16 ounces dark chocolate, melted and cooled slightly (I used 2 cups of Hershey's Cocoa instead)
Directions
-
Place sugar and egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer
set over (but not touching) a pan of simmering water. Whisk constantly
until mixture is heated and sugar is dissolved. Attach bowl to an
electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and continue whisking
until cooled and stiff peaks form, about 7 minutes.
-
With the mixer running, add butter, one piece at a time,
until completely incorporated. Continue whisking until a light, fluffy
cream has formed. Stir in chocolate until well combined.
