How To Make Chocolate Cream Cheese Icing

Now, we're going to show you how to make the best chocolate cream cheese icing. So what we're going to need is about 1.8 kilos of icing sugar, about 500 grams of butter, about 400 grams of cream cheese, some vanilla essence and about one cup of plain chocolate, which you then melt.

So the secret to making the best chocolate cream cheese icing is to make sure that the butter and the cream cheese are very well blended, light and fluffy before you begin to add the other ingredients. To make it into a chocolate cream cheese icing, you want to add the melted chocolate at the end and do be sure that it's cooled before you add it or it's going to melt your icing. So the first step is to add the butter and the cream cheese to a mixing bowl.

Make sure that they are not too cold particularly the butter, otherwise it will be very difficult to mix them. And as usual, you're going to start off on a lower speed and then gradually go on to a higher speed and you will want to stop the mixer and scrap down the sides periodically. So once the cream cheese and butter mixture is light and fluffy, you'll want to add in your icing sugar and essence.

Be sure to start off at the low speed first to minimize the dust from the sugar. And periodically, you will want to scrape down the sides. To make it really fluffy, you want to eventually mix it on a higher setting.

And now that you've got the cream cheese frosting nice and fluffy, you can add your melted and cooled chocolate. So you want to use a plain chocolate rather than a milk chocolate to get a more intense taste. And that's how to make chocolate cream cheese icing. .
