Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Cream the butter until light and fluffy.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites to soft peaks. Add the sugar gradually to the egg whites, beating all the while. Add in the whipped butter. The frosting may clump at this point if the butter is at all chilled. Don't worry, it just means that the frosting will require more beating. Beat until smooth.
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave. Cool slightly; the chocolate should still be fairly warm. Beat into the butter frosting.

Did not turn out at all. Ended up with what looked like cottage cheese. I beat it for 15 minutes and gave up.

I haven't tried this recipe yet but I plan to. If you are having trouble with the butter separating, you need to keep beating it. The coldness of the butter determines how long you need to mix...

VERY Yummy! I would agree that the recipe calls for too much butter. I left a little out b/c of the reviews, but it's still a little too buttery. Maybe try adding 1 cup and then add more to tast...

I must've done something wrong, because I excpected this frosting to be "fluffier". However, to bring it to the thickness and fluffiness I desired, I just added powdered sugar. The results were ...

I give it three stars, daughter (11) gives it four. It's light, slightly creamy, has that little specks of chocolate like the description says. Didn't love it, but it frosted the cake. Tastes...
