For the best flavor, use high-quality chocolate chips. Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth, lump-free frosting. Sifting the confectioners' sugar helps to prevent a grainy texture. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can seize. The frosting can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before using.
