This frosting is light, super velvety, and not too sweet. It pairs perfectly with a rich dark chocolate cake, making it a delightful choice for Valentine's Day baking. It can ice one large layer cake or two smaller cakes.
1: In a medium bowl, whisk double cream/heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
2: In a second bowl, combine cream cheese, icing sugar/powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract.
3: Whisk the second bowl mixture for at least two minutes until glossy and thick with no clumps of icing sugar remaining.
4: Decant the whipped cream and the chocolate cream cheese mixture into a large bowl.
5: Fold with a spatula until the two mixtures are combined fully with no white bits of cream showing.
6: If making ahead of time, it will keep for at least a week in the fridge in an airtight container. Leave out for 30 minutes before using.
