This is a recipe I adapted from one I found on the Godiva Chocolate Website
20
ounces
semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 1/4
tablespoons
unsalted butter, softened
1/4
cup
black raspberry liqueur, such as Chambord
4
teaspoons
vanilla extract
To make the Black Satin Fudge Frosting:
To Melt the chocolate - In a Microwave Oven: Place coarsely chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe container and microwave at MEDIUM (50 percent power) for 1 1/2 to 4 minutes, until the chocolate turns shiny.
Remove the container from the microwave and stir the chocolate until completely melted. Stir milk and white chocolates after about 1 1/2 minutes.
Because of their milk proteins, they need to be stirred sooner than dark chocolate. (If overheated, these chocolates may become grainy.)
Put the milk, butter, black raspberry liqueur and vanilla in a
food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade.
Add the melted chocolate. Cover for 20 to 30 seconds, until the frosting
is thick and creamy.
Use the frosting immediately.
Reserve 1 cup of the frosting for piping on top of the cake. Use the remaining frosting to fill and frost the cake.
