CHOCOLATE FROSTING



Chocolate Frosting image

Decadent indeed, this frosting is a chocolate lover's dream come true. Creme fraiche offsets some of the richness. Use it to frost vanilla cake (or chocolate if you're a chocoholic).

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 20m

Yield Makes 7 1/2 cups (enough to frost one 8-inch layer cake)

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
4 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Salt
1 pound 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
1 1/2 cups creme fraiche or sour cream

Steps:

  • Beat cream cheese and butter with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Sift together sugar, cocoa powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; gradually beat into cream cheese mixture. With machine running, pour in melted chocolate in a slow, steady stream. Beat in creme fraiche until well combined. If frosting doesn't seem firm enough, refrigerate for 10 minutes. Beat before using.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor frosting. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
  • Make sure the butter is at room temperature before you start mixing the frosting. This will help it cream together smoothly with the sugar and chocolate.
  • If you want a thicker frosting, add more powdered sugar. If you want a thinner frosting, add more milk or cream.
  • To make a chocolate ganache frosting, heat equal parts chocolate and heavy cream in a saucepan over low heat until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Then, let it cool slightly before stirring it into the butter mixture.
  • You can flavor the frosting with a variety of ingredients, such as vanilla extract, almond extract, or orange zest. You can also add chopped nuts or sprinkles.

Conclusion:

Tangy chocolate frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With these tips, you can make the perfect tangy chocolate frosting every time.
