This small-batch Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting is silky smooth, deeply chocolatey, and incredibly decadent. It’s pretty much the best thing you’ll ever spread onto a cupcake.
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese and butter. Using a handheld electric mixer, beat until well-combined and there are no individual streaks of cream cheese or butter remaining.
Add vanilla and mix well.
Add sifted powdered sugar and cocoa powder and beat, starting on low, working up to medium-high, until frosting is smooth and creamy.
If necessary, add a little milk by the half teaspoon until frosting reaches your desired consistency.
Notes
*If you need a stiffer frosting for piping, beat in more powdered sugar as neededApproximate nutritional information is for 8 servings.
