 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
   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
