This Whipped Chocolate Frosting is perfect on top of both chocolate or vanilla cakes. It's rich, decadent, smooth and absolutely delicious, while also being easy to make.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
- 8 oz plain cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add the softened butter and cream cheese to a large mixing bowl along with the heavy cream and vanilla extract
- Use an electric hand mixer and combine until smooth and creamy
- Add 1 cup of the powdered sugar and the cocoa powder
- Mix again until combined
- Add the remaining powdered sugar
- Mix until fully combined and there are no clumps in the frosting
- (Note: If the mixture is too thick, to 1 tsp of heavy cream or whole milk until it reaches your desired consistency. If the frosting is too thin, add 1-2 tbsp of powdered sugar at a time until you are happy with the consistency.)
