Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream

Method
 

  1. Remove cream cheese from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes.
  2. Place the softened cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for about one minute until fluffy and smooth.
  3. Sift cocoa powder and powdered sugar together, then gradually add to the cream cheese while beating on low speed, increasing to medium after incorporation.
  4. Add vanilla extract and beat for another 30 seconds. Then, add heavy cream one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or cocoa as needed.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for best texture. Sift dry ingredients to avoid lumps. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
