Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, salt, and milk.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Bring the mixture to a full boil, ensuring you do not stir once it begins to bubble.
  4. Reduce heat slightly and boil for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing steam to wash down the sides of the pan.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat and immediately add the grated chocolate.
  6. Let the mixture sit for one minute to allow the steam to melt the chocolate slightly.
  7. Stir vigorously until the chocolate is fully melted and the icing is smooth and glossy.
  8. Pour the warm icing over your cooled cake, spreading it evenly to cover the top.
