Made with melted chocolate. Avoid cocoa powder. Melting a chocolate baking bar with butter and cream creates a silky frosting.

Semi-sweet chocolate. Chocolate chips have stabilizers, so I recommend a chocolate baking bar, which is blocks of chocolate. Smooth melting chocolate bars make a richer icing.

Butter. Increases icing richness. You can use salted or unsalted butter. Heavy cream. Makes icing creamy. Avoid low-fat milk for optimal outcomes.
