This is another version of a chocolate ganache—cooked, then strained to eliminate any imperfections and produce a satiny-smooth finish.

Ingredients

Icing

  • 8 oz. bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 1½ tbsp. unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

Method

For the Icing

Combine the chocolate and butter in a medium saucepan. Stir often, over low heat, until mixture is melted and smooth. Remove saucepan from heat; cool slightly.

Beat in cream and sugar with an electric mixer until mixture is smooth. Strain through a sieve into a mixing bowl.

Let cool for 15 minutes, then cover and refrigerate fo
