Fantastic! Honestly, you could add a little more chocolate to it to make it a little richer, but really light and delicious!

I thought this was pretty good. The only thing I left out was the rum because it isn't something that I have on hand. Delicious! :)

This recipe has got so many requests after I made it....and my husband is gaga over the texture, flavor of this buttercream. It's my go-to chocolate frosting.

One word: Greasy. I was disappointed with this recipe. I liked that it didn't use a lot of sugar, but it did seem like a lot of butter and shortening. The frosting seemed soupy when it was done. I put it in the freezer, thinking the heat of the warm syrup had perhaps melted the shortening, and the texture did improve as it chilled. However, it was just too greasy tasting. I ended up adding in two cups of confectioner's sugar to try to balance out the greasiness. It still was just too greasy for me.

Too much trouble for mediocre results. The frosting does taste better after a day or two, but I don't think I will make it again because of the time and dirty dishes involved. Also, there are raw egg yolks in this recipe.

I used this frosting on the chocolate cherry cake from Ginger and it was the most incredible frosting I have ever tasted. I didnt have rum so I used 1 teaspoon of brandy. My husband continues to rave about this. Thank you for such a great recipe!!!!
