For an even richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of unsweetened chocolate. If you don't have a double boiler, a microwave can be used. Heat the ingredients in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. This icing is best used immediately after making it, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before using.

Jun 9, 2025I found that the icing was a bit too thick, so I added a little extra water to thin it out. It worked perfectly!
