This Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting is creamy, rich and easy to make. Spread it over sugar cookies or cupcakes for an extra layer of decadence!
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 Tablespoon chocolate syrup
- 1 Tablespoons milk
Instructions
- For the frosting, beat butter and cream cheese for 3-5 minutes, until fluffy.
- Beat in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, chocolate syrup and milk. Beat for an additional 3-5 minutes, adding more milk if needed to get desired consistency.
- Use on cake or cupcakes, or spread over chocolate brownies.
Notes
- Makes enough frosting for a 2 layer cake or 24 cupcakes.
- Perfect for spreading on sugar cookie bars!
- If you want a tangier cream cheese frosting, increase cream cheese to 8 ounce. Skip the milk, and beat until smooth. It may be "softer" but perfect spread on cakes!
- Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days. If too hard to spread, beat with mixer again before using.
