A rich and creamy chocolate frosting perfect for cakes and cupcakes.
Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl by heating it in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
Stirring the chocolate frequently prevents it from burning and ensures a smooth melt.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until fluffy.
Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother mixture.
Add the melted chocolate, milk, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and beat until smooth.
Mix on low speed to avoid splattering and ensure even incorporation.
Adjust the consistency by adding more milk, one teaspoon at a time, if needed.
The frosting should be spreadable but not runny.
Use the frosting to decorate cakes, cupcakes, or bars as desired.
Chill the frosted dessert for a firmer texture and enhanced flavor.
