    This chocolate frosting isn't my personal favorite (largely because I'm a big fan of Swiss merengue buttercreams and dark chocolate ganaches), but it's a very good basic no-cook frosting (other than melting the chocolate) that is bound to be well-liked by almost everyone. It's thickness was also instrumental in holding my cake together! I used a high quality cocoa powder and Trader Joe's Belgium 70% dark chocolate.
