Chocolate Sour Cream Frosting

"Rich and NOT for the faint-hearted"




chocolate sour cream frosting
This chocolate sour cream frosting is not for the faint hearted nor the one ingredient cook. The amaretto is optional. Amaretto is an Italian liqueur and we use it tons of Italian drinks.

I use this frosting on my Chocolate Amaretto Cake. But heck, its a frosting, use it on whatever you wish!



If this isn't the type frosting you were looking for scroll below and see the list of Italian cakes and frostings I have my site. These recipes are the results of my sweet tooth. Through the years, I've made all these Italian dessert recipes. I will just keep adding and adding until my days on earth are finished. Thanks for stopping by.

Chocolate Sour Cream Frosting

YIELD: Enough to frost a 3 layer cake if needed!

Frosting Ingredients:

* 1 - 2 tablespoons amaretto ( optional )

* 1/4 cup unsalted butter

* 1/4 cup whipping cream

* 2/3 cup sour cream

* 1 cup powdered sugar

* 2 cups semisweet/bittersweet chocolate chips



Frosting Procedure

* Combine butter and cream in medium saucepan.

* Put burner on medium low and stir until the mixture comes to simmer.

* Remove from heat.

* Add 2 cups chocolate chips and whisk until melted.

* Mix in the amaretto.

* Cool approx 5 minutes.

* Whisk in sour cream and the powdered sugar.

* Make sure and get rid of all lumps!

* I usually find I don't have to put this in the fridge to spread. I pour it on my cake and it firms rather fast.






Won't the cream curdle?

It's not curdled for me. BUT I stand there and stir AND my burner isn't too high either.

Can I use milk instead of whipping cream?

Sure! BUT the added fat in the cream really makes this frosting rich!
