Course: <\/span>Dessert<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n
Servings: <\/span>12<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/h3>
  • 2<\/span> sticks<\/span> salted butter – softened<\/span> (16 oz)<\/span><\/li>
  • 1.5<\/span> sticks<\/span> plain full-fat cream cheese<\/span> (12 oz)<\/span><\/li>
  • 2\/3<\/span> cup<\/span> unsweetened dark chocolate dutch process cocoa<\/span><\/li>
  • 3<\/span> cups<\/span> confectioners' sugar<\/span> (aka powdered or icing sugar)<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

    Instructions<\/h3>
    • Mix your confectioners\u2019 sugar and cocoa powder with a fork – if you are adding a dry flavor enhancer, add it to this mixture<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Beat butter and cream cheese together until they start to fluff up<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Scrape down butter and cream cheese mixture, and pour in the dry mixture<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Cover your mixer, turn it on, and run it on low for 30 -45 seconds<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Uncover the mixer, scrape down the frosting, and mix with the beater until fully incorporated and whipped smooth in texture<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Taste test – decide if it needs anything else – if no, you're done!<\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
      <\/div>\n

      Notes<\/h3>
      Sometimes I add one of these – I probably would not do more than one enhancement per batch or you might overwhelm the cocoa flavor:<\/span>
      <\/div>\n
        \n
      • 1\/2 tsp almond extract<\/li>\n
      • 2 tsp Grand Marnier (or liqueur of your choice)<\/li>\n
      • 1 tsp ground Ceylon cinnamon<\/li>\n
      • 1 tsp espresso powder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\u00a0<\/span>
        <\/div>\nFood safety note: This frosting has cream cheese, so do not let it set out for more than about 2 hours maximum. Store your frosted cake in the fridge.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
