Since I'm a serious chocoholic the original recipe wasn't fudgey enough for me. I put in bitterweet 60% Cacao chocolate but it seemed too sweet and not dark and chocolaty so I added a 1/4 cup of Hershey's Special Dark unsweetened cocoa and bingo! It turned dark and lushishly chocolate! It cut down on the sweetness and gave it so much more depth. I will use this recipe again with the added dark cocoa. It's easy to make and spreads beautifully on cake.

PERFECT!!! Exactly what I was looking for....EASY to make, fudgy, and smoothe. I tempered the egg white while melting the chocolate by putting the glass I had it in in a bowl of very warm water for those who might fear "cooking" it...actually, if you just let the mixture sit a bit and after you add the sugar, not even sure the tempering was even necessary. :)

JUST FINISHED MAKE THIS FROSTING AND IT IS AMAZING!!! I FOLLOWED ONE OF THE OTHER COMMENTS AND LEFT THE EGG WHITES OUT AND JUST ADDED A SMALL AMOUNT OF MILK AND IT WORKED OUT JUST GREAT!! I LOVE MAKING CAKES AND HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A VERY EASY YET FANTASTIC CHOCOLATE ICING. I WILL FOR SURE USE THIS AGAIN.. BUT IN THE FUTURE I WILL DOUBLE OR TRIPPLE THE RECIPIE. IT ONLY MAKES 1 1/2C OF FROSTING. AND FOR CAKES THAT IS JUST A LITTLE SCANT!

Delish! I made this yesterday with a chocolate craving and two sweet-craving nieces, and I did everything exactly as it said, and it turned out perfect! Although I'm interested to try Beautsbelle's idea on milk, it sounds delicious!

Easy and delicious! I used 1 cup 60% cocao Giradhelli chips and 1/2 cup semi-sweet chips instead of squares of unsweetened chocolate. It was great!
