Fudgy Chocolate Frosting - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
10 tablespoons unsalted butter (5 ounces)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

In a medium saucepan, bring the cream and sugar to a boil over moderately high heat.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces slightly, about 6 minutes.
Pour the mixture into a medium bowl and add the chocolate, butter, vanilla and salt. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter are melted.
Set the bowl in a larger bowl of ice water. Using a hand-held electric mixer, beat the frosting on medium speed, scraping the sides occasionally with a rubber spatula, until thick and glossy, about 5 minutes.
Use at once.
