Debbie Keener Joyce shared this recipe that was passed down from her great aunt. She says: We just call it Mama's Icing. It never gets sugary stays kinda like a pudding not too sweet

Ingredients and Instructions

2 squares of unsweetened chocolate
1 c sugar
3 tbsp cornstarch
1 c boiling water

Cook until thickened, then add:

3 tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla
dash of salt

I double it for a two layer cake.

Debbie also says: I also whisk the cornstarch into the sugar before adding the water and chocolate. That way you have a better chance of less lumps.
