Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (melted)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and cream cheese together until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition to prevent lumps. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Pour in the vanilla extract and mix until it's fully incorporated.
Gradually add the heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, mixing on low speed. Increase the speed to medium-high and whip the frosting for another 2-3 minutes until light and airy.
Slowly pour in the melted semi-sweet chocolate while the mixer is running on low speed. Mix just until the chocolate is evenly incorporated into the frosting and no streaks remain.
Use the frosting immediately to top cakes, cupcakes, or any dessert of your choice. If not using immediately, cover and store in the fridge for up to 3 days, bringing it to room temperature and re-whipping before use.
