Preparation

Step 1

In the bowl of an electric mixer using paddle attachment (or using an electric hand mixer with a large bowl), beat together 8 ounces cream cheese with 8 tablespoons butter on medium/high speed until creamy (3 minutes), scraping down the bowl as needed.

Sift in 3 cups powdered sugar with ½ cup cocoa powder to ensure there are no lumps then add ¼ teaspoon salt. Mix on low speed until well combined, scrape down the bowl well then increase to medium/high speed and beat until smooth and whipped (1 minute).
