This Chocolate Cheesecake Frosting tastes just like whipped chocolate cheesecake! It is a simple chocolate cream cheese buttercream that pipes beautifully unto cupcakes or cakes. A hint of almond extract brings out the bold chocolate flavor making this frosting a chocolate lover’s dream!
I am convinced that this frosting makes the world a better place! It is easy, light and fluffy, beautiful and absolutely delicious! This is my favorite go-to chocolate frosting. It is hands down the best I have ever made. I’m pretty sure I will never make better!
In the name of cooking science I made a LOT of frosting to figure out what chocolate frosting would be life changing. I made cupcakes and cupcakes and more cupcakes to go with all the batches of frosting.
When I made my final batch it is possible I got a bit carried away. I was so excited with my final recipe that I gave Jack (my one year old) an entire cupcake to demolish. He had no complaints about my heavy handed generosity. By the time I was done it felt like I had given cupcakes to everybody we knew!
Maybe it is silly to think that a good frosting recipe makes the world a better place. But, I’m guessing the first time you slather this chocolate cheesecake frosting on a birthday cake for somebody you love my point will be made.
Happy Cooking!
