Rose Kennedy's Chocolate Frosting Recipe


Recipe for Chocolate Frosting by Rose Kennedy

Below is a chocolate frosting recipe. It is meant to top a Boston Creme Pie, but I am sure you can use it on any type of  cake.

Ingredients:
2 ounces unsweetened Chocolate
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup milk
2 cups confectioners sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Place the chocolate, butter and milk in the top of a double boiler. Cook on medium low heat till the chocolate melts, stirring frequently. Take the chocolate mixture off the heat and let stand till lukewarm. Stir in the confectioners sugar and vanilla.  Mix well until thick enough to spread.  You may need to add more sugar.

This is a recipe that was from Rose Kennedy.  It was in a cookbook "Cook Book-Favorite Recipes of the Ladies of St. Francis Xavier Parish Guild" published in 1969!
