Homemade Chocolate Filling or Frosting Recipe for Cakes and Cake Decorating INGREDIENTS: 4 eggs 200 gr icing sugar 200 gr dark chocolate 300 gr butter at room temperature DIRECTIONS: Mix the eggs and icing sugar until the composition becomes creamy and begins to whiten. Place the filling in a deep pot, on low heat and stir continuously until it starts to thicken. If the filling leaves a trace on the bottom of the pot, then it is ready and you need to set it aside. Melt the chocolate in the microwave and add it to the filling. Mix and set aside to cool. When it's cooled, add the butter, kept at room temperature. Mix well to incorporate the butter and get a smooth consistency. You can use it as filling for any cake of your choice! If you use it as filling, after you filled the cake, place it overnight in the fridge. It will harden, thanks to the butter. If you use it for cake decorating, as a frosting, then you need to cover your cake with it and set in the fridge overnight before you decorate any further. The butter will harden in the fridge and it will make it easier to handle. Bon Appétit!
