Ingredients

Ingredients for Frosting:

2 1/2 cups heavy cream

6 tablespoons unsalted butter

6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

2 cups granulated sugar

2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup Lyle's Golden Syrup

1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Directions:

In a 4-quart saucepan over low heat, combine the cream and butter. Stir until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and whisk in the chopped chocolate until melted. Whisk in the sugar, cocoa powder, syrup, and salt until smooth. Be sure the cocoa powder dissolves completely. Pour into a 9x13-inch pan and freeze until firm, about 2 hours.

Remove the frosting from the freezer . Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed for 12 minutes to soften. Change to a whisk attachment and beat at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
