CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting image

This frosting is sooo good. It almost has a whipped consistency, and it tastes absolutely delicious. I use it when I want a rich & smooth chocolate frosting. It is my "go-to" frosting, and my family is always asking me to use it. I cannot even remember where I found it because I have been using it for so long. I usually end up doubling the recipe, which is the perfect amount for a two-layer cake. The most important step is letting your cream cheese and butter soften. Enjoy!

100g butter , softened

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the frosting will taste. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (70% or higher) and a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients. If the cream cheese is too cold, it will be difficult to spread.
  • Beat the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the frosting, making it smooth and creamy.
  • Add the chocolate in small increments. This will help prevent the frosting from becoming too thick or grainy.
  • Taste the frosting as you go. Adjust the sweetness and flavor to your liking. You can add more chocolate, sugar, or vanilla extract to taste.
  • Use the frosting immediately or store it in the refrigerator. The frosting can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Chocolate cream cheese frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you are looking for a rich and decadent frosting for a chocolate cake or a light and fluffy frosting for a vanilla cupcake, chocolate cream cheese frosting is a great option.
