Chocolate Marshmallow Cream Frosting

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY WONDERFUL HUSBAND, KEITH!
(He requested Chocolate Cupcakes for his Birthday treat.)


This recipe is yummy! It has more of a ganache texture than a creamy frosting.




1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow cream
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, or to taste
3 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
1 1/2 tablespoons butter flavored shortening
1/4 cup half-and-half, or as needed

Place the marshmallow cream, two-thirds of the confectioners' sugar, melted chocolate, shortening, and half of the half-and-half in a mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Alternately add remaining confectioners' sugar and half-and-half until desired level of sweetness and consistency is attained.
