Ingredients:
6 ounces dark chocolate chips (73% cacao) about 1 heaping cup½ cup butter ** For a VEGAN alternative, use Spectrum all- vegetable shortening
¼ cup agave nectar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons water
Pinch of salt
In a mediumsaucepan over very low heat, melt the chocolate until smooth. Allow the pan to stand on the counter for 5 to 10 minutes to cool the chocolate to room temperature.
Blend in thebutter (or shortening) with a handheld mixer, then blend in the agave nectar, vanilla extract, water and salt until smooth. Place the saucepan in the refrigerator for 3 to 8minutes, until the frosting becomes spreadable.
If the frosting becomes too stiff to work with, reheat the pan ever so briefly over very low heat and stir until the frosting issoftened.
