Why This Recipe Works

Using the food processor, we were able to create the ultimate chocolate frosting.

Instructions

Place chocolate in food processor fitted with metal blade. Bring cream, corn syrup, and salt to boil in small saucepan (or in microwave); stir to combine. With food processor running, gradually add hot cream mixture through feed tube; process until mixture is smooth, about 1 minute, scraping down bowl once. Add sugar and vanilla; process until combined, about 30 seconds, scraping bowl down once. With machine running, add butter one piece at a time; process until smooth and no butter chunks remain, about 1 minute, scraping down bowl as needed. Transfer to small bowl and let stand at cool room temperature until thick and spreadable, about 30 minutes.
