Chocolate Milky Way Frosting

 Millie found this frosting in a cupcake book with wonderfully fun recipes (when I find the book again, I will put the title).  This recipe took me by surprise as being very delicious!

1 1/4 C whipping cream
1/3 C sour cream
1/2 C butter

1 1/2 C sugar, granulated

1 1/4 C cocoa powder

1 1/2 t vanilla

1. In a spouted measuring cup, Whisk whipping cream and sour cream until combined. Set to the side.

2. In a saucepan, add butter and gently melt over low heat. Add sugar, cocoa powder, and cream mixture.  Whisk until everything is combined. 

3. Turn heat up to medium and continuing whisking until smooth and sugar is dissolved (about 5 minutes).

4. Remove pan from heat and mix in vanilla. 

5. Pour into a large heatproof bowl. Chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. 

6. Beat with an electric mixer on medium high speed until frosting fluffs up (about 2 mintues). Frost whatever you want. 

**Storage: store in air tight container for about 1 week in refrigerator.
