The Olive Bin

Blood Orange Cream Cheese Frosting

Cream together softened cream cheese and butter. Add Triple Sec, milk, and orange zest and mix well (substitute more milk or orange juice if you don't want to use Triple Sec). Slowly mix in powdered sugar. Add a small additional amount of milk if frosting is too thick for your taste (conversely, add more powdered sugar if it's too runny). Frost cooled brownies, cake, or other baked goods. Sprinkle with dark chocolate shavings.
