--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  12      oz            Semisweet chocolate --
                        - use chips or cut  block into
                        - small pieces
   8      oz            Heavy cream
   2      ts            flavoring or liqueur (optional)

Place the chocolate in a large metal or glass bowl. Heat the cream in
a saucepan just to the boiling point. Pour the cream over the
chocolate, making sure that all of the chocolate is covered. Cover
the bowl and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.

Whisk the chocolate until dark and shiny, then cool to room
temperature. To thicken, beat cooled icing with a hand mixer for a few
minutes. It's best if used after 12 hours.

Yield: 2 Cups

Enough to fill and cover an 8" cake that is 3" high.
