Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
- Melt the chocolates in the microwave one minute at a time. I melt mine for one minute and mix it together until completely melted.
- In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment beat your butter and cream cheese for 5 minutes in med-high speed until smooth.
- On a separate Bowl Sift together your powdered sugar and your cocoa powder.
- Add your powdered sugar and cocoa powder one cup at a time adding your milk one table spoon at a time together with every cup of powdered sugar.
- Once you have added all your powdered sugar and cocoa add your cooled melted chocolate and vanilla.
- Beat on med speed for 3-5 mins until smooth.
- Frost cooled cupcakes to your liking. I used a 1M piping tip. These go amazing with fresh berries or top with sprinkles or cookie crumbs.
