Comment préparer Ina Gartens Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
- Chop 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate and place it in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler).
- Stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine 3 large egg whites, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar, and a pinch of salt.
- Place the bowl of egg whites over the pan of simmering water (double boiler) and heat, whisking gently, until the egg whites are warm to the touch, about 5 minutes. Do not let the egg whites become hot.
- Return the bowl to the electric mixer and beat on high speed for 5-7 minutes, or until the meringue is glossy, cool, and forms stiff peaks.
- Gradually add 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter, one tablespoon at a time, while beating on medium speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the cooled melted chocolate, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional), and 1 tablespoon dark rum (optional). Beat on medium speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the frosting is smooth and creamy. If the buttercream seems too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before beating again.
