chocolate sour cream frosting
Actually, I hate sour cream. And cream cheese. But when you use it as a cooking ingredient, I don’t mind it. I have to say, that’s the best thing about this recipe that you CAN’T taste the sour cream. Sorry, I’m weird. I have to say, this is definitely my go to frosting when using chocolate. REAL CHOCOLATE. Since the Kid can only have cocoa, it’s rare that this is made - but if I am baking gifts - this is really the way to go. Perfect, just sweet enough, and so easy.
ingredients:
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 a stick of butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2-1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
Melt chocolate and butter in a saucepan, stirring well. Let cool, then stir in the sour cream, vanilla and salt.
Put this in a mixing bowl, and beat - adding the confectioners’ sugar, slowly. Beat on high for 1 minute until the frosting is fluffy and ready to use.

How do you store this frosting? Does it need to be refrigerated since there is sour cream in it? Thanks!
I LOVE, love, love your recipes.

It doesn’t, since the sour cream is kind of cooked, but I do like to refridgerate frosting when possible, especially if it’s been hot the way it has been - then I don’t like to leave ANYTHING out.

So easy, and very tasty. But probably not a great recipe for a hot day… it started to melt between the time I finished beating it and the time I frosted 17 cupcakes! Still, definitely a great new addition to the frosting repertoire.
