This Chocolate Frosting isâĻ
Suitable for spreading on cakes, piping tall swirls and sandwiching between cake layers.
Way less sweet and uses way less butter than buttercream â too rich to use in vast volumes.
Less rich than ganache â also too rich to use in vast volumes, like multi-layer cakes.
Has texture and flavour qualities like Swiss Meringue Buttercream but is much easier to make â no candy thermometer required.
Has a creamy, fluffy texture, but not as light as whipped cream â too light to use as a frosting.
Is completely smooth â icing sugar grit in buttercream bothers me.
Will hold its piped shape in the fridge indefinitely.
Stays creamy in the fridge â it does not harden like buttercream. Eat cake on demand!
Doesnât get a crust on the surface when it dries.
Doesnât use any special ingredients or equipment.
Can be made and used within a few hours â no overnight refrigeration.
Truly tastes of chocolate. Like, really.
