In the microwave melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in thirty second increments and for no longer than one minute. Set aside to slightly cool.
On medium speed, beat together the butter and cream cheese until smooth and fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl sift together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, meringue powder, corn starch, and salt.
On low to medium speed, add 1 cup of the chocolate powdered sugar mixture to the cream cheese mixture at a time, scraping down the bowl between each cup.
Once all the powdered sugar mixture is incorporated, drizzle in the melted semi-sweet chocolate.
On low to medium speed beat for 2 to 3 minutes or until combined.
Refrigerate in a piping bag or air tight glass container until you are ready to use.
