INGREDIENTS:
75g unsalted butter
150g dark chocolate
75g icing sugar
200g condensed milk
Pinch of salt
METHOD:
1. Measure the ingredients into a medium-sized saucepan and place over very low heat.
2. Stir continuously until the mixture has melted and the frosting is smooth and glossy. It’s important not to overheat the mixture otherwise the chocolate will start to separate and the frosting will turn oily. As soon as there are no visible lumps of chocolate, remove from the heat and pour into a shallow bowl.
3. Cover the bowl with clingfilm, patting down the middle so the clingfilm touches the surface of the frosting (this stops it from drying out). Leave to cool for 30 mins.
4. Unwrap the frosting and give it a good stir. If it appears oily or split, stir in 2-3 teaspoons of cold milk or condensed milk to bring the frosting back to a smooth and glossy appearance.
5. Spread onto cakes, pipe onto cupcakes or eat with a spoon
