Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting/Icing

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

The amounts stated are enough to frost the top of a 13 x 9-inch sheet cake, to frost and fill a layer cake double the amounts, this frosting freezes very well so make a double recipe and freeze for the next time, the confectioners sugar and cocoa must be sifted first.

Delicious chocolate frosting!

Yummy as usual! Thanks for all the great recipes! I wouldn't change a thing. Even the cheap chocolate I used tasted great.

Made to spread on some brownies I made. What a nice change! I can't wait to make a cake and use it!
