Note
Ensure the cream cheese is fully at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth texture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a richer chocolate flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate with a higher cocoa percentage.
If the mixture is too stiff, you can add a teaspoon of milk or cream to help it reach the desired consistency.
