Method

Microwave chocolate on medium for 2 to 3 minutes, until melted, stirring every minute. (Chopping chocolate first on the steel blade until fine will make it melt more quickly.) Cool completely.

Steel Blade: Process butter and 1¾ cups icing sugar until well creamed and light, about 1 minute. Add egg yolks and process another 20 seconds, until well blended. Scrape down sides of bowl
