Cream Cheese Mixture:
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Whipped Cream:

Instructions
- Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- Whipped Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the chocolate cream cheese mixture to lighten it. Then fold in the remaining whipped cream in two additions, mixing just until fully incorporated and smooth.
