This is the frosting of my childhood: my mom (from Italy!) made this frosting for every occasion possible with chocolate cake of course. My biggest thrill was when I was old enough to handle the "hot stuff" and pour it in. I LOVED how it fluffed up and how you could make a million little spikes and most of all, how it tasted. Thanks for bringing back great memories. (And, yes, I make this with my children too!)
