Bittersweet Chocolate Icing

 

Ingredients:

 4 oz. of bittersweet chocolate (break into pieces)

4 tablespoons cornstarch

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

2 tablespoons butter

1 teas. Vanilla essence

Place cornstarch, sugar and water in a saucepan. Stir over low to medium heat until the mixture becomes opaque and thickens. Remove from heat; add broken chocolate pieces and butter. Cool and decorate.

I personally like to use two types of icing. I fill the center of the cake with chocolate butter icing and the outside with bittersweet icing. Using a cheese grater…shave a little chocolate on the top for decoration.
