Homemade chocolate icing made with greek yogurt and semi-sweet chocolate.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz Bakers semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/4 cup greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • sea salt to taste (optional)

Instructions

  • Melt half of a 4 oz. Bakers semi-sweet chocolate bar. Set it aside to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Mix together 1/4 cup softened unsalted butter and 1/4 cup Greek yogurt until creamy. Pour in chocolate and 1 tsp. vanilla extract. Mix until the butter and yogurt transform their color. Add in portions of powdered sugar until you have added 1 full cup and mix.
  • If desired, add a couple good grinds of sea salt and mix it all on high for 10 seconds until smooth.

Notes

**These quantities are sufficient for a 13x9 pan of cake/brownies or 2 dozen cookies. You will need to double it for a 9 inch layered cake.
**If you prefer the icing to be stiffer, pop it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before spreading.
