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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Pour in the vanilla extract and mix until it's fully incorporated.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
