Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

The only thing better than cream cheese frosting? Chocolate cream cheese frosting.

4 cups icing sugar

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1 tsp instant espresso powder (optional)

1/4 cup salted butter, softened

8 oz cream cheese, softened

2 tsp vanilla extract

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the icing sugar, cocoa and espresso powder. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, cream cheese and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium speed. When it’s creamy, gradually beat in the icing sugar mixture until smooth and combined. Taste the frosting for “chocolatiness,” and add extra cocoa to taste.  t8n
