Ingredients
- 1 pound semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 cups heavy cream

Directions
- Place the chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. In a medium saucepan, bring the cream to a bare simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate, add the salt, and let stand for 2 minutes. Whisk until melted and smooth. Let cool, stirring occasionally, until thick and spreadable, 4 to 5 hours. (Note: Don’t try to speed the cooling process by putting the frosting in the refrigerator; it will become lumpy.)
