                This is the best chocolate frosting! It's so creamy and tasty. When you stick the leftovers in the fridge for a bit, it tastes just like fudge. I use it on cupcakes. This recipe makes WAY too much for 24 cupcakes, though. I'd halve it.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Salt
  • 1 pound 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 1/2 cups creme fraiche or sour cream

Directions

Beat cream cheese and butter with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Sift together sugar, cocoa powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; gradually beat into cream cheese mixture. With machine running, pour in melted chocolate in a slow, steady stream. Beat in creme fraiche until well combined. If frosting doesn’t seem firm enough, refrigerate for 10 minutes. Beat before using.
