A rich, creamy frosting with bold chocolate flavors and just the right amount of sweetness.
Whip 8 ounces of room temperature cream cheese in a stand mixer or large bowl using an electric hand mixer until it is smooth and creamy
Add 1/2 cup of room temperature butter and whip until combined
Add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of espresso powder and a pinch of salt and mix to combine
Gradually add 2 cups of confectioners sugar while mixing on low speed
If the frosting becomes too tight, add a few tablespoons of heavy cream until you achieve your desired consistency
Taste and add the remaining confectioners sugar if you want the frosting to be sweeter
Use your chocolate espresso cream frosting to frost fully cooled cakes, cupcakes, doughnuts or cookies
