What each ingredient does
- Baker's chocolate
- Provides chocolate flavour and colour to the frosting.
- White icing
- Provides sweetness and the base body of the frosting.
The step that matters
Let the chocolate cool before mixing. Melted chocolate that is still hot can melt or thin the icing and make it greasy or runny, so it should cool before it is added.
