    This chocolate frosting is probably one of my favourite recipes of all time! It is so easy to put together, and has a secret ingredient that really takes it to another level - cream cheese! Cream cheese adds a rich, creamy texture to the buttercream frosting, and you honestly can’t even tell it’s in there, so it doesn’t take away from the chocolate flavour at all! Trust me, it is so yum and you will never go back to regular chocolate frosting after trying this version!
    INGREDIENTS:
    - 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter - room temperature
    - 4½ cups (570 g) icing sugar - also known as confectioners/powdered sugar
    - 1½ cups (335 g) cream cheese - cold, firm type
    - 1½ tsps vanilla
    - ¾ cup (75 g) cocoa powder - unsweetened

    Tip: Trying adding the cream cheese as the last ingredient! Cream Cheese contains lots of water and by waiting it minimizes the impact to the structure of the frosting.

    Question :- why isn’t the cocoa powder added with the icing sugar? Would this not allow it to be incorporated more easily without risking over beating when adding the cream cheese?

    Hi MK! Thank you so much for all of your amazing videos and beautiful cakes. I am looking for a good chocolate buttercream, and I know this will be perfect. I was wondering, though, would this frosting be firm enough to use a cake comb with it? Most buttercreams that use cream cheese tend to be softer than other types. Thank you so much!😉

    • @tammiemartinez6485
      @tammiemartinez6485 Год назад +1

      After reading many comments from others no matter the brand it can. I usually sift mine before adding when using a hand mixer but I've also not sifted when using a stand mixer. Either way none of the batches I've made came out gritty. I just made a vanilla version of this 2 days ago. No problem with that one. The only thing I do differently when using a hand mixer is to add it slowly. Basically more than 3 batches. Yes, it takes longer but as I've said. I've had no issues with grittiness. Hope this helps. Happy baking... 😋

      Hi there! Yes this can be an issue with American buttercream :) in this recipe the grainy texture is minimal as the cream cheese really helps dissolve the icing sugar, but another trick is to mix for a long time (about 10 minutes) as another user has also kindly mentioned, and this will reduce the grainy texture :)
