CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

This is a nice way to make a regular cake a little more special! The richness of the cream cheese is a nice balance with the sweetness of the powdered sugar. The chocolate adds a nice twist to the regular cream cheese frosting recipe. This is from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook and a family favorite.

BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Bittersweet Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting image

I don't like traditional cream cheese frosting, so my friend made this and used it to frost chocolate cupcakes when I went to her place for lunch. She's right, add chocolate and I'll devour anything! She gave me this recipe (it's originally from Diana's Desserts), and I thought I'd share it with all my fellow chocoholics. Makes 1 3/4 cups of frosting (she frosted 12 large cupcakes). Cooking time is the estimated time for melting chocolate.
