How to Make Cinnamon Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

In a mixing bowl, cream together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened unsalted butter until smooth and creamy.
Add 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 3 3/4 cups powdered sugar.
Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 30 seconds, scraping down the sides as needed.
If the frosting is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk or cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Beat on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes more.
