In blender, place evaporated milk and sugar; blend until well mixed. Add melted chocolate and blend until thick and shiny. Blend on high 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. The sound will change when the frosting has thickened.

Spoon into a bowl and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then cover with plastic wrap and let set 1 hour until thick enough to spread. Do not put in the refrigerator. This will fill and frost a two-layer cake. This frosting is rich and very good.
