From America's Test Kitchen, make this in the food processor. Use whatever kind of chocolate you like...milk, semi-sweet, bittersweet...it's rich and delicious. Ingredients:
20 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (60 to 65 degrees, 2 1/2 sticks) |
1 cup confectioners' sugar (4 ounces) |
3/4 cup dutch-processed cocoa powder |
1 pinch table salt |
3/4 cup light corn syrup |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
8 ounces milk chocolate, melted and cooled slightly |
Directions:
1. In food processor, process butter, sugar, cocoa, and salt until smooth, about 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl as needed.
2. Add corn syrup and vanilla and process until just combined, 5 to 10 seconds.
3. Scrape sides of bowl, then add chocolate (cooled to 85º - 100º F) and pulse until smooth and creamy, 10 to 15 seconds.
4. Frosting can be used immediately or held.
5. The frosting can be made 3 hours in advance. For longer storage, refrigerate the frosting, covered, and let it stand at room temperature for 1 hour before using.
