Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Remove the sour cream from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before starting to let it come to room temperature.
-
Step 2.
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth, or place the chips in a small pot set inside a larger pot of simmering water (double boiler) and stir until melted.
-
Step 3.
Let the melted chocolate cool for about 10 minutes, until it is no longer hot but still fluid.
-
Step 4.
Gradually add the room-temperature sour cream to the cooled chocolate, stirring well after each addition, until the icing is smooth and fully combined.
