Ingredients
Method
- Place water in a skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Add a medium sized bowl (preferably metal or glass). Place chocolate wafers in the bowl and melt.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add heavy cream, instant coffee, salt and corn syrup and heat to just below boiling.
- Slowly pour the scalded liquid over the melted chocolate, whisking constantly until smooth.
- Strain the icing through a sieve. It can be used immediately or cooled and refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. If it has been chilled, reheat slowly in a double boiler (method in step 1 for melting the chocolate) before reusing.
