--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  12      ounces        semisweet chocolate (use chips or cut
                        -- block into small pieces)
   8      ounces        heavy cream
   2      teaspoons     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-inch cake 3 inches high
