It doesn't necessarily have to be for a frosting.
My mom's a pastry chef and I was brought up with the 6 stove ranges taken by double-boilers and sauce pans, dozens of beaters working at the same time, freezers and the smell of semi-sweet chocolate all around the house at breakfast time instead of fresh toast!LOL
No wonder I'm a chocoholic!

Hay una diferencia en términos de cantidad entre "stir in" y "fold in" (ésta implica una cantidad mayor de mezcla, chocolate o lo q sea, q se mezcla con mucha suavidad.)

mix in / add the melted choclate


Explanation:
Unless there is a specific effect that the recipe wishes to achieve by the way in which the melted chocolate is added then there are a number of ways which this could be phrased;
mix in
add
pour

is this 'forma de hilo' a specific technique?

Explanation:
pour the melted chocolate into the mixture as you are beating/whisking (or while you whisk, etc.)

I think the "hilo" bit need only refer to its fluidity, as the thinness of the "hilo" will be governed by how runny it is, and I don't think that is so important here

Pour the melted chocolate into the smaller bowl and whisk over ice - the mixture will gradually thicken and take on the appearance of whipped cream, ...

perhaps "pour the melted chocolate into... gradually", though I'm not sure it's necessary unless large quanitties are involved

forma de hilo is a technique in some recipes, like adding oil when making mayonnaise, as aceavila suggests, i think

agree  Sp-EnTranslator: slowly/gradually/continuously, as you point out "the thinness of the "hilo" will be governed by how runny it is", that's the key issue in this case, IMHO.

dribble in


Explanation:
in search of a way of expressing that you shouldn´t chuck it all in at once... I´m sure we´d find something in mayonnaise recipes...

OK, I´ve been at the mayonnaise recipes:
"Add 1/2 cup oil in a very fine steady stream, beating constantly" says http://homecooking.about.com/od/saladrecipes/r/blcon64.htm , while "Whisk in the oil, pouring it slowly", says http://www.aftouch-cuisine.com/recipe/mayonnaise-201.htm
I´ve been chewing on the question (sorry, couldn´t resist), and wondering about "drizzle" - it conjures up cake covering pictures for me.
