Black Cocoa Frosting
Fluffy, tangy chocolate cream cheese frosting made with Modern Mountain Black Cocoa - our go-to for the black cocoa cake, and right at home on any cake or cookie.
Directions
Combine softened cream cheese and butter into a mixing bowl.
Using hand beaters or a standing mixer, beat over medium speed until fluffy and evenly combined.
Add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt.
Starting on low speed, beat to incorporate the dry ingredients. Increase speed to medium once most of dry ingredients are incorporated, and beat until well-combined and fluffy. TIP: If the frosting is a bit too stiff, add up to 1-2 tablespoons of heavy cream or whole milk to loosen the mixture.
Tips
- For a darker frosting, add black cocoa gradually and taste as you go.
- Too stiff? Loosen with 1-2 Tbsp heavy cream or whole milk.
