Chocolate Frosting:
8 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons skim milk

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add sugar and beat until incorporated. Add cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla and beat until blended.
