Fudgy Chocolate Frosting

This is also great heated and served over ice cream. So if you have any extra after frosting your cake…or make up a batch just for ice cream!

1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
3 T milk
3 cups sifted confectioner’s sugar
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Beat the cream cheese, butter, and milk in a medium bowl, mix on medium speed until smooth. Add confectioner’s sugar, cocoa, and salt. Beat until blended. Reduce mixer speed to low, add the vanilla and beat just until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
