QUICK AND EASY CHOCOLATE FROSTING
This is a very quick and super easy frosting recipe that tastes great. Great for busy moms. The ingredients are very easy to remember since it's an equal amount of everything. I haven't experimented with using butter or margarine instead of shortening. Would love to hear from anyone who tries that because I'm sure it would be healthier.

Steps:
- Place all ingredients in a glass bowl, except for vanilla extract.
- Microwave on low heat stirring and checking every few seconds until it is evenly melted. (Original recipe said to do this in a saucepan over low heat, but I've always used the microwave and it's come out fine.).
- Remove from microwave once melted and stir again .
- When slightly cool, add vanilla extract and frost cake.
- (I once poured this frosting while it was slightly warm onto a warm cake because I was in a hurry and it turned into a beautiful chocolate glaze.) Super easy. I don't think I've found an easier recipe than this that tastes so good.

Steps:
- Beat together cream cheese and butter in a large bowl until smooth. Sift together confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually beat sugar mixture into cream-cheese mixture, and beat until combined. Slowly pour in melted chocolate as you continue to beat. Add sour cream, and beat until smooth. Use immediately. Or refrigerate, covered, up to 3 days; bring to room temperature, and beat with a mixer on low speed until smooth before using.
Tips:
- Use high-quality cocoa powder: The quality of the cocoa powder you use will greatly affect the taste of your frosting. Look for a cocoa powder that is labeled "unsweetened" and has a deep, rich flavor.
- Don't overbeat the frosting: Overbeating the frosting will make it stiff and grainy. Beat the frosting just until it is smooth and creamy.
- Add a little salt: A pinch of salt can help to balance the sweetness of the frosting and make the chocolate flavor pop.
- Use the frosting immediately: Chocolate frosting is best when used immediately after it is made. If you need to store the frosting, place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Chocolate frosting is a delicious and versatile topping for cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a rich and creamy chocolate frosting that will take your dessert to the next level. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to dress up your desserts, give this chocolate frosting a try. You won't be disappointed!
