Frosting & Icing are sweet, sugary mixtures that can fill or cover cakes and other desserts. They are essentially the same thing, and cooks in different kitchens use the two terms interchangeably.

Ingredients:
1
bar (3 to 3.5 ounces) bittersweet chocolate, broken into small pieces
2
tablespoons unsalted butter
2
tablespoons whipping cream
1
tablespoon powdered sugar
1/8
teaspoon salt
Preparation:
1.
Melt chocolate and butter in top of double boiler over hot, not boiling, water. Remove from heat. Add cream, powdered sugar and salt; stir until smooth.
Tip:
Fans of ginger will love the flavor of these cookies. But they're just as flavorful without the crystallized ginger. For another option, before baking, place a pecan or walnut half in the center of each dough ball, or roll them in chopped almonds, hazelnuts or macadamias.
