Ingredients

• Mexican Hot Chocolate Frosting:
• 1 * 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1/2 * 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 * 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 * 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 * 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 * 3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
• 3 * 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted

Preparation

Step 1

To prepare the frosting: Using a handheld electric beater, cream the cream cheese and butter together thoroughly. Add the chili power and cinnamon, mixing to incorporate. Add the salt, vanilla, and confectioners' sugar. Finally, mix in the melted chocolate and blend thoroughly until smooth. If additional thickening is needed, add more sifted confectioners' sugar, a little at a time, until a spreadable consistency is reached.
