Directions French Chocolate Buttercream
Directions
-
Melt chocolate in a microwave according to package instructions. Set aside and let cool completely.
Combine sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, let boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
Beat eggs in a large bowl using an electric mixer until frothy. Drizzle in sugar mixture slowly, beat on high speed until mixture turns pale yellow and expands in volume, about 5 minutes. Add butter by tablespoon one at a time with mixer running, beating well after each addition. Frosting will become watery, continue with remaining butter.
Mix in cooled melted chocolate. Beat on high speed until frosting thickens and becomes fluffy, about 5 minutes.
