Bonne Maman's Frosting Recipe

Ingredients:

1 egg

3/4 cup confectionate sugar (substitute whatever you think will work)

1/2 cup unsalted butter

2 ounces semi-sweet melted chocolate (my family only accepts Belgian for this,

heh)

-OR-

about 1 tablespoon ground coffee plus 2 tablespoons water

-OR-

1/4 cup cocoa or carob powder

Directions:

Beat egg well, then add sugar slowly. Then add melted chocolate, coffee, or

powder. Add butter bit by bit (about 1/2 tablespoon at a time).

Note: If the mixture isn't beaten correctly this mixture will separate

(especially the coffee). I have been able to save it by adding another egg then

being more careful as I repeat the instructions above.

This recipe scales well.

Obviously you'd only want to use this for very special occasions with the sugar

in it.

Enjoy!
