The best chocolate frosting I ever made. So easy and makes enough for a 9" 2 layer cake. I used half & half because I'm too cheap to buy a whole carton of heavy cream for 3 ounces. Half & half works fine and has less fat and calories, so I can have a second piece of cake without feeling guilty. It needed 5 or 6 tablespoons of half & half to get the consistency right.

Way too sweet for my taste... I halved the sugar but it is still too sweet. I only used one coat on one of the layer. Wouldn't make this again.

Really tasty frosting but like many other reviewers I added much more heavy cream than stated to get desired consistency.
