Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the ingredients with a whisk and divide into 20 baking cups. Bake for 20-23 minutes in the oven until the tops spring back and aren't sticky. Let cool fully.

8 oz. cream cheese, 1/3 less fat, softened

Beat the cream cheese and butter in an electric mixer until fully combined. Add in the cocoa powder and powdered sugar slowly, the vanilla, and beat until everything is mixed together well. Pipe into the cupcakes when they are cool and decorate.
