QUICK AND EASY CHOCOLATE FROSTING
This is a very quick and super easy frosting recipe that tastes great. Great for busy moms. The ingredients are very easy to remember since it's an equal amount of everything. I haven't experimented with using butter or margarine instead of shortening. Would love to hear from anyone who tries that because I'm sure it would be healthier.

Steps:
- Place all ingredients in a glass bowl, except for vanilla extract.
- Microwave on low heat stirring and checking every few seconds until it is evenly melted. (Original recipe said to do this in a saucepan over low heat, but I've always used the microwave and it's come out fine.).
- Remove from microwave once melted and stir again .
- When slightly cool, add vanilla extract and frost cake.
- (I once poured this frosting while it was slightly warm onto a warm cake because I was in a hurry and it turned into a beautiful chocolate glaze.) Super easy. I don't think I've found an easier recipe than this that tastes so good.

- Add sugar and cocoa, mixing well.
- Stir in milk in portions, stirring each time.

- Spread on cooled cake or other items needing frosting.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
- Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start. This will help them blend together smoothly.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the frosting will be thinner and less rich.
- Feel free to add other flavors to the frosting, such as vanilla extract, almond extract, or even a pinch of salt.
- If you're making the frosting ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to use it, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before spreading it on your cake or cupcakes.
