QUICK CHOCOLATE FROSTING RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Chop the chocolates and place them in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan simmering water. Stir until melted and set aside until cooled to room temperature.
• Mix the egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Place the bowl of egg whites over the pan of simmering water and heat the egg whites until they are warm to the touch, about 5 minutes. Return the bowl to the electric mixer and whisk on high speed for 5 minutes, or until the meringue is cool and holds a stiff peak.
• Add the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, while beating on medium speed. Scrape down the bowl, add the melted chocolate, vanilla, espresso, and rum, if using, and mix for 1 minute or until the chocolate is completely blended in. If the buttercream seems very soft, allow it to cool, and beat it again.

Steps:

• Beat the icing sugar , butter and cocoa power together in a free standing electric mixer with a paddle attachment (or use a hald held electric whisk)on medium-slow speed until the mixture comes together and is well mixed .
• Turn the mixerdown to slow speed. Add the milk to the butter mixture a couple of teaspoons at a time . Once all the milk has been incorporated , turn the mixer up to high speed. Continue beating until the frosting is light and fluffy , about 5 minutes . The longer the frosting is beaten, the fluffier and the lighter it becomes.
