Meanwhile, prepare the frosting. Carefully melt the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Remove from the heat and cool until just warm. Whip butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add icing sugar slowly, mixing until well combined. Add the lime juice and the sour cream and mix until smooth.
