This frosting is truly amazing, it’s creamy, smooth, and tastes like mocha. Perfect for chocolate cakes and cupcakes. I personally think that mascarpone is the best cheese to use in frosting (even above cream cheese!) it’s not as tangy as cream cheese and has an undeniable smooth and creaminess which compliments all flavors.
