Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 4 ounce cream cheese softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 Tablespoon chocolate syrup
  • 1 Tablespoons milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. For the frosting, beat butter and cream cheese for 3-5 minutes, until fluffy.
  2. Beat in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, chocolate syrup and milk. Beat for an additional 3-5 minutes, adding more milk if needed to get desired consistency.
  3. Use on cake or cupcakes, or spread over chocolate brownies.

Notes

  • Makes enough frosting for a 2 layer cake or 24 cupcakes.
  • Perfect for spreading on sugar cookie bars!
  • If you want a tangier cream cheese frosting, increase cream cheese to 8 ounce. Skip the milk, and beat until smooth. It may be "softer" but perfect spread on cakes!
  • Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days. If too hard to spread, beat with mixer again before using.
