The taste of this icing is excellent. I gave it 4 stars because it does take a while to harden up in order to spread well. I was in a hurry and had to out the icing in the freezer for 10 + minutes to get it to stiffen up in order to make it spread and stay on the cake.

? had to doctor it to make it taste good. I doubled the amount of chocolate and cream and also added about 3/4 cup more powdered sugar.

This was the fastest, easiest, best frosting i've ever made! I did however make this again and substituted bittersweet chocolate chips and it was *AWESOME*

Good Frosting. Very Creamy and it won't harden. Doesn't taste like cream cheese though.

This recipe seemed like it had all the good stuff in it--but we (my family) all thought it was a bit too bitter. It either needs more sugar or milk chocolate chips rather than semi-sweet. It has a wonderful creamy texture, though, and lots of potential.

I halved this recipe for a 9x13 sourdough chocolate cake (also on this site). My husband says the frosting made the whole cake perfect. I did use semi-sweet baking bars, put in a couple Tbs of cream and butter while I melted the chocolate and used a bit more sugar (maybe a half cup, I didn't measure), 1/2 Tbs vanilla and some more cream to get the consistency. I will defintely use this next time I need a chocolate frosting.

This is a good recipe. Simple. I added a pinch of salt to bring out the chocolate taste more.

I used this with the Dark Chocolate Cake II recipe from this site. It was easy to make but I used dark chocolate chips instead of semisweet because a previous reviewer said it wasn't chocolaty enough. It turned out wonderful, very fast and easy to spread which was great because I was in a hurry that day.

I made this recipe yesterday and although I thought it came out really nicely (meaning easy to frost with) I thought it hardly tasted like chocolate at all even though it definitely looked like chocolate frosting. So, I doubled the amount of chocolate and added a little more cream. Then it was wonderful. I frosted a plain white cake with it and added raspberries, strawberries and meringues on top and inside...yummy!

I found this recipe online here during an icing emergency! I didn't have the chocolate morsels on hand, so in their place I subsititued 8 ounces of bittersweet chocolate. Oh my Gosh. This an unbelievable icing! Wonderful! I used it on a white cake and everyone was SWOONING over it. Everyone wants a copy of the recipe! Thanks for saving the day! Great website and great recipe!

Easy, quick, and rich recipe. It's good for you "don't like my sweets too sweet" crowd. I'll use cherry pie filing as a topping and that should sweeten it up nicely. Would have been a perfect frosting (for me) had it been a bit sweeter.
