Recipe View If the frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or cream until desired consistency is achieved. If it's too thin, refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to firm up.

For the best flavor, use high-quality chocolate chips.
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth, lump-free frosting.
Sifting the confectioners' sugar helps to prevent a grainy texture.
Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can seize.
The frosting can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before using.
