To-Die-For Chocolate Fudge Buttercream Recipe alert… 
I know, I know, I’ve kept you waiting long enough for this delicious recipe but here it is!!! The Gucci of all Chocolate Fudge Buttercream recipes! This buttercream is perfect for filling and covering a cake and just the right consistency for piping. The secret to this recipe is the cream cheese and the heavy cream that I use instead of milk. It’s very straight forward and will bring you so much joy you will be dancing around the kitchen as you lick the spoon 😉
This recipe creates the same glossy, silky texture as Swiss meringue buttercream but without the eggs, so it’s ideal for VEGETARIANS, or anyone with egg allergies or intolerances. To make this Chocolate fudge buttercream VEGAN, substitute the cream cheese for coconut cream and the consistency should be right even without the cream, if you think it’s a bit firm you can add water to the mixture, or a nut milk if you prefer, half a teaspoon at a time.
Here is my chocolate cake recipe
