LOVELY CHOCOLATE ICING

Recipe and picture: David Scott
Let me give you a secret recipe for icing.

• 350 g baking chocolate
• 250 ml fresh cream

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler on stove over boiling water, make sure the boiling water does not touch the bowl.
Once melted, remove from the heat and beat the fresh cream into the melted chocolate. Place in the fridge overnight.
No need to beat the cream beforehand, just pour it into the melted chocolate and beat.
When you want to use the icing to decorate the cake, beat the mixture again and spread on the cake top and sides.

Note:
Your cakes will look stunning with this icing, see photo.
Normal icing is too sweet for me, this cream and chocolate mixture is better for me and less work.
The consistency is like peanut butter (a little softer) and will also work with a piping bag on cupcakes.

Enjoy!!
