Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 (8 ounce) package (cream cheese, softened)
  • 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 cups (256g) confectioners' sugar
  • 1/3 cup (35g) baking cocoa
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth using a hand-held mixer. You can also use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
  • Add in confectioners' sugar and cocoa and mix until combined. I prefer to mix on low even though it takes about 3 minutes to fully incorporate. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed. 
  • Add in vanilla and brown sugar and mix until smooth. Test frosting and if you can detect any graininess, continue to mix on high until completely smooth.Sprinkle with mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. (optional)
