Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting/Icing

"The amounts stated are enough to frost the top of a 13 x 9-inch sheet cake, to frost and fill a layer cake double the amounts, this frosting freezes very well so make a double recipe and freeze for the next time, the confectioners sugar and cocoa must be sifted first."

  1. Oh so yummy! I made this to go with my Recipe #338416 so I used about 2 1/2 cups of Powdered Sugar to make sure it was pretty stiff. This is a delicious, versitale frosting. I needed chocolate and vanilla so I did seperate in half before adding the cocoa to do that. Worked perfectly! Thanks Kitt! Another delicious winner!
     
  2. I used one half cup less of the sugar and used three quarters cup of especially dark cocoa powder. I wouldn't use this recipe either. not my favorite .
     
  3. Absolutely delicious. Didn't change anything. Will make this from now on. Thank you
     
  4. Delicious chocolate frosting!
     
  5. Yummy as usual! Thanks for all the great recipes! I wouldn't change a thing. Even the cheap chocolate I used tasted great.
