Not great. Very runny, even when kept in the fridge. Thankfully, I didn't frost the cupcakes and just frosted each one before eating it. Usually, 24 cupcakes wouldn't last a week in my house. I've had mine around for at least a month in the fridge and they are not going fast. The "tang" people talk about is not a good thing. I'm not sure if it's the cinnamon or what, but the frosting does not taste good and it leaves a bad aftertaste. I made it exactly according to the directions.

Excellent taste and consistency. Based on other reviews, I cut back the sugar to 3 c and used just 3 tbsp of milk (actually I used cream in lieu of milk). I used it on Dark Chocolate Cake II. Also added a pinch of salt. Will keep for next time!

hmmm, after reading all the great reviews I thought I had found "the one"..well, it isnt.. in fact, its like eating chocolate and cheese together.. I thought the flavors would blend or something, I love cream cheese frosting but I dont know what happens to it when you add the cocoa.. I think cheese frostings have to be used in certain cakes, like carrot cake.. but chocolate cheese frosting? no NO AND NO! I couldnt even use this... and sorry for the bad review, not trying to insult the chef! Just saying it must go good on something but not on a regular kid friendly cake! maybe I myself am too much of a kid and cant understand this flavor??

Delicious!! I used melted semi-sweet baking chocolate, and i added less sugar and less butter. It went GREAT with "Simple White Cake" From this site. It also sets up well when put into the fridge.

This was a really good frosting. I loved to subtle sourness the cheese gave the frosting. It was absolutely delicious paired with dark chocolate cake.Only used 2.5 C of sugar though. 4 C seemed like a bit too much. Also didnt add the cinnamon. Will defintely make again.

This frosting is awesome! It will definitely be the chocolate frosting I make from here on out...it's really good on graham crackers if you have leftovers after frosting the cake! It makes a huge batch...I frosted a three layer cake and still had a lot leftover.

This was a good frosting paired with Dark Chocolate Cake II. A pretty, easy-to-spread texture that is almost fluffy. I had to use 5 ounces of melted Guittard dark semisweet chocolate to get it to the level of chocolaty-ness I wanted. I also omitted the cinnamon. I used less than 4 cups of powdered sugar, and maybe 2-3 T. milk. Still, I would have preferred a more fudge-like frosting.

We loved this frosting! Two of my kids, plus my husband, have April birthdays, and this frosting was a hit with them all. I used only 3 cups of powdered sugar, and 2 Tbsp. milk. The frosting will stay fluffy and easily spreadable in the fridge for days- I still have some in a container from a week ago, and it's just as delicious as the day I made it.
