Ingredients

1 can dulce-de-leche (13- 14 ounces)

1/2 stick unsalted butter, room temperature

Chop chocolate into small pieces. If butter is isn't soft, cut into thin slices.

In double boiler, melt chocolate, butter, and dulce de leche, mixing frequently with wooden spoon or heat-proof spatula.

Continue to double boil until everything is melted and well incorporated.

Let cool for a few minutes before frosting the top of the cake.

Let the frosting cool and set-up before serving.

This yeilds a thick, sticky frosting that is easy to spread while warm, but more difficult as it cools.
