Steps:
- 1. WHISK together cream, sugar and corn syrup in a 2-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking until sugar is dissolved. Remove pan from heat. Whisk in chocolate chips until melted and mixture is smooth. Cut shortening into pieces. Add to frosting, whisking until smooth. Pour into bowl. Refrigerate until spreadable, about 30-45 minutes.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is recommended.
- Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start. This will help them mix together smoothly.
- Don't overbeat the frosting. Overbeating can cause the frosting to become grainy.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a little more cream or milk until it reaches the desired consistency.
- If the frosting is too thin, add a little more powdered sugar until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
