Satin Chocolate Icing

Need something decadent and easy? Pour it on and let the chocolate drip down the sides. Perfect for brownies, Boston cream-style cakes, banana cake, and anything else that needs a coating of smooth satiny chocolate.

• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 3 cups icing sugar

1. Boil hot water in a kettle.
2. Melt chocolate and butter together in a microwave or in a metal or glass dish in hot water, stirring to keep melting even.
3. Stir in vanilla.
4. Whisk in icing sugar.
5. Whisk in enough boiling water to achieve a smooth satiny glaze.
6. Pour immediately and carefully over cake.

This icing does not go completely hard but will partially set once poured. Not recommended for dipping strawberries as it does not form a hardened shell.
