Easiest Chocolate Frosting Ever!

Place chopped chocolate in a heat-safe bowl; set aside. In a medium heavy-bottom saucepan, heat cream until just before it reaches the boiling point (small bubbles will form around the edges). Remove cream from heat and pour over chopped chocolate. Let the chocolate and cream steep together for 2 minutes before gently whisking or stirring the two ingredients until completely combined. The mixture will be smooth and glossy. Add vanilla extract and stir to combine. Cover bowl with a clean kitchen towel and set aside in a cool spot for at least 8 hours before using.

Makes about 3 1/2 cups of frosting.
