Chocolate Blender Frosting

Chocolate Blender Frosting

• 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons evaporated milk
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  

1. Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler placed over the simmering water. Cool slightly.
2. Blend the evaporated milk and sugar in a blender on medium speed for 2 seconds.
3. Add the chocolate to the sugar mixture in the blender and blend on high speed until the frosting is thick and shiny, 1 to 1 ½ minutes. The mixer’s sound will change when the frosting has thickened.
4. Spoon the frosting into a bowl and allow it to set at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the frosting to set for 1 hour more before frosting. *Do not refrigerate the frosting*, even if you don’t plan to use it for several days.

Makes 1 3/4 cups, enough to fill and frost a two-layer cake.
Note: This recipe can only be made in a blender.
