For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of unsweetened. If the icing is too thick, add a tablespoon of hot water at a time until desired consistency is reached. Ensure the cornstarch is fully dissolved before heating to prevent lumps. For a vegan option, substitute the butter with a tablespoon of coconut oil or a plant-based butter alternative.

Dec 10, 2024My icing was a little lumpy, but I think I didn't dissolve the cornstarch enough. Still tasted great though!
