Directions
- In microwave or very gently on stovetop using low heat, melt butter and chocolate together.
- Remove from heat if using stove top just before it is completely melted and stir until it is smooth.
- Stir well and add 1/2 cup powdered sugar.
- Continue to stir and add the rest of the sugar until it's well blended- you may not need the entire cup of sugar.
- It will look awful!
- Now, slowly, slowly, stir in the cream.
- Keep stirring and it magically turns into a velvety concoction.
- Add the vanilla and stir.
- Serve.
- NOTE: refrigerate the left overs if there are any, but when you re-heat it, put it in the microwave for about 2 or 3 seconds at a time and stir, stir, stir- be careful or it will separate- if this happens, you can add a little more sugar and cream to bring it back to the right consistency.
- Servings yielded is completely subjective--.
