Notes
Use a good quality cocoa powder for this frosting to get the best results and preferably use dutch process cocoa powder.
Make sure you are using cold heavy cream along with cold cream cheese.
A pinch of salt can also be added to enhance the flavor.
Dissolve the cocoa powder in 2 tbsp of cream (heavy whipping cream) and add this paste to the cream mixture. This ensures that everything is well combined and gives a smooth texture to your whipped cream frosting without leaving any trails of lumpy cocoa powder behind.
