- 150 grams Unsalted butter room temperature
- 300 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids) finely chopped
- 150 grams Icing sugar sifted
- 397 grams (1 can) Condensed milk
- Pinch Salt
Instructions
- Measure all of the ingredients into a large non-stick saucepan and place over very low heat.150 grams Unsalted butter, 300 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), 150 grams Icing sugar, 397 grams (1 can) Condensed milk
- Stir continuously until the butter and chocolate melt and the frosting is smooth and glossy. It's important not to overheat the mixture otherwise the chocolate will start to separate and the frosting will turn oily. As soon as there are no lumps of chocolate, remove from the heat and pour into a shallow bowl.
- Cover the bowl with clingfilm, patting down the middle so the clingfilm touches the surface of the frosting (this stops it from drying out). Leave to cool for 30 minutes.
- Stir the frosting and check the texture. If it looks oily or split, add 1-2 tablespoons of cold milk or cold condensed milk, and stir to combine. This will bring the frosting back to a silky smooth texture.
- Decorate your bakes!
