For a richer flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate. If the frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of evaporated milk at a time until desired consistency is reached. For a tangier flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon juice. This frosting can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before using.
