Instructions:

1. Melt the Chocolate: 🍫

   • In a medium, heavy saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup of the semisweet chocolate chips along with the unsweetened chocolate. Remove the pan from heat.

   • Allow the mixture to stand until it reaches room temperature. This step ensures the frosting sets properly and achieves that perfect consistency.

4. Whip it Good! 🥄

   • Using an electric mixer set at high speed, whip the chocolate mixture until it forms soft peaks. This step adds a light and airy texture to the frosting.
