Zubereitung von Chocolate Buttercream Icing
- Melt 4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate with 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a double boiler or microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Set the melted chocolate aside to cool slightly.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat 1 large whole egg and 2 large egg yolks at high speed for 1 minute until light and frothy.
- Set the egg mixture aside.
- In a 1-quart non-aluminum saucepan, combine 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and ¼ cup water. Stir well to combine.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture simmers. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Uncover the sugar syrup and continue to simmer over low heat, without stirring, until it reaches the soft-ball stage (234-240°F on a candy thermometer).
- With the mixer running on high speed, slowly drizzle the hot sugar syrup into the reserved egg mixture in a thin, steady stream.
- Continue beating until the mixture is thick, glossy, and the bottom of the bowl is cool to the touch (about 5-7 minutes).
- Gradually beat in the reserved melted chocolate mixture and 1 tablespoon of brandy (optional) until thoroughly blended.
- In a separate small mixing bowl, beat 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter at medium speed until light and fluffy.
- With the mixer running on high speed, gradually add the beaten butter to the chocolate mixture, one tablespoon at a time, until fully incorporated.
- Beat the icing for an additional 5 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Refrigerate the buttercream, stirring every 10 minutes, until firm enough to spread (usually 30-40 minutes).
