Necessity is the mother of all invention. That’s how this recipe happened.
This frosting was created to cover my sister’s 30th birthday cake. Triple chocolate seemed rather appropriate.
Melt the chocolate wedges. Mix all the ingredients together. It doesn’t even take 5 minutes. Lick the beaters when you are done. You know you want to. I won’t judge.
I originally needed 6 oz. dark baking chocolate, based off the recipe I was using. I ran out of my cocoa powder, hence this adaption. It also called for 4 cups or so of sugar. I didn’t bother measuring mine. I never do. I just add till it feels right, and most importantly, tastes right. I also didn’t add whole milk or any milk at all. Didn’t need it. So I felt that enough changes were made to not even bother listing the original recipe.
This makes a very fluffy frosting. I was honestly worried about not having enough because the cake had 3 layers, and then I still needed to coat the outside. I had PLENTY. There was still some in the bowl many hours, and many fingerfuls (from all of us) later.
Note: I don’t know how many servings this makes. It makes a lot.

Thanks!
And I’ll edit the post to add: “Or equivalent yummy chocolate” for the Trader Joe’s portion, since I know Trader Joe’s isn’t everywhere. (Such as Colorado where I live sadly)

I love the 30 on the cake. Cute picture! Frosting sounds amazing too.
