Ingredients
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 24 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
Directions
-
Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Let stand until just warm, 10 to 15 minutes.
-
Put cream cheese and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Mix in melted chocolate until combined. Use immediately.
Also I think this recipe makes enough frosting for two batches (48) cupcakes, especially if you are making them for kids.
Super creamy and decadent. I love the glossy look the chocolate adds.
