Chocolate Frosting image

Decadent indeed, this frosting is a chocolate lover's dream come true. Creme fraiche offsets some of the richness. Use it to frost vanilla cake (or chocolate if you're a chocoholic).

Time 20m

Yield Makes 7 1/2 cups (enough to frost one 8-inch layer cake)

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
4 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Salt
1 pound 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
1 1/2 cups creme fraiche or sour cream

Steps:

  • Beat cream cheese and butter with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Sift together sugar, cocoa powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; gradually beat into cream cheese mixture. With machine running, pour in melted chocolate in a slow, steady stream. Beat in creme fraiche until well combined. If frosting doesn't seem firm enough, refrigerate for 10 minutes. Beat before using.

This frosting was a bit runny for my taste, but it still tasted good. I would recommend chilling it for a bit before using it.

This frosting was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less sugar if you don't like your frosting too sweet.

I was a bit disappointed with this frosting. It was too sweet for my taste, and it didn't have a lot of chocolate flavor.
