Chocolate Cream Frosting

Chocolate Cream Frosting (from here)

Notes: I tried this but accidentally put a box of cook and serve pudding instead of instant, so it majorly flopped. But, I thought it sounded good, so I still want to try it sometime. I didn't have enough ingredients to try again.)

2 (1 oz) squares of unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled (I used semi-sweet chocolate chips.)
1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 c. water
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 (3.9oz) package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 c. heavy cream, whipped

Blend the melted chocolate and milk. Gradually mix in the water, vanilla, and pudding mix, and whisk until smooth. Fold in the heavy cream. Frost the cake immediately and chill for at least 30 mins before serving.
