Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons dutched cocoa powder
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons cream cheese
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup boiling water

Mix the powdered sugar and the cocoa powder. Melt the butter and cream
cheese together. Add this gooey, melty mixture to the powder and
immediately bet it with a hand mixer until the mixture forms little round
balls. Add the vanilla. Little by little, add the water and mix on high
speed until the mixture thins out enough to POUR and becomes smooth.
Pour/spread over your desired object of frostedness and let it chill for
a few minutes.

My favorite modifications to this recipie are:

* Replace the Boiling water with hot fruit syrup, such as the pour-off from
home-canned peaches or thinned-out raspberry freezer-jam.

* Add 1 TBS of Bicardi White Rum to the smooth mixture before applying.

* You can omit the cream cheese if you don't go for the flavor, but you
then need to add 1/4 tsp of salt (the cream cheese is usually pretty salty.ÿ
