Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups sugar
6 large eggs yolks
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Mix sugar, yolks, and syrup in small bowl. Bring cream to simmer in heavy 3-quart saucepan. Add both chocolates and stir over low heat until smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in butter, then sugar mixture. Cook over low heat until mixture registers 165°F to 170°F on candy thermometer, stirring constantly, about 10 minutes. Immediately pour mixture into bowl; do not scrape sides of pan. Add vanilla.
  • Using electric mixer, beat frosting until cool. Let frosting stand at room temperature until thick enough to spread, stirring occasionally, 1 1/2 hours.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate frosting, but this one is really good. It's not too sweet and it has a nice rich flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the frosting turned out too runny. I had to add more powdered sugar to thicken it up.

This frosting is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still good.
