Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting image

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.

5 1/4-5 3/4 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and cocoa powder with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add 2 cups of the powdered sugar, beating well. Gradually beat in additional powdered sugar to reach spreading consistency.
