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.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the frosting will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overbeat the frosting: Overbeating the frosting will make it stiff and grainy. Beat it just until it is smooth and creamy.
- Let the frosting chill: Chilling the frosting for at least 30 minutes before using it will help it to set and firm up.
- Use the frosting on your favorite desserts: This frosting is perfect for cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and pies.
Conclusion:
This tangy chocolate frosting is the perfect way to add a delicious and decadent touch to your favorite desserts. It is easy to make and can be used on a variety of different treats. Whether you are a professional baker or a home cook, this frosting is sure to impress your friends and family.
