The Best (And the Last!) Cream Cheese Frosting You'll Ever Make image

This cream cheese frosting uses marshmallow fluff and blows every other cream cheese frosting made with just 10x out of the water. I frost carrot cake with it, and EVERYONE who tries this loves it!! You won't believe how good it is! I had to add it since I didn't see it when I was searching for the recipe. Originally from Paula's Place blog, but I found it on "With a Grateful Prayer and a Thankful Heart" blog. Google it for the full recipe. The carrot cake is to die for!

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Made with much less confectioners' sugar than the usual cream cheese frosting, it's sturdy, dependable and not too sweet - just right for a child's birthday party or to ice three-dozen cupcakes for a bake sale. While it's not quite as silky as a buttercream based on beaten eggs and sugar syrup, it's much, much less persnickety to make and it holds up well without refrigeration for several hours before it starts getting soft. Plus, the cream cheese makes it incredibly creamy while adding a tangy bite that helps tone down the sweetness of the confectioners' sugar. To make lemon cream cheese buttercream (which tastes a little like a cheesecake), substitute one tablespoon lemon juice for the vanilla and add a teaspoon of grated lemon zest to the frosting.

Time 15m

Yield Enough frosting for a 3-layer cake

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup/113 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature
1 pound/454 grams cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon/3 grams salt
1 1/2 teaspoons/7 milliliters vanilla extract
6 cups/720 grams powdered sugar
2 tablespoons/30 milliliters milk or cream, if needed

Steps:

  • Cream butter and cream cheese in a stand mixer. Add salt and vanilla. Slowly start to add powdered sugar at low speed.
  • Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated, turn mixer to high and whip for at least 7 minutes or longer, scraping sides. If the icing seems too thick, mix in a tablespoon or 2 of the milk or cream.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cream cheese: Look for cream cheese that is smooth and spreadable, without any lumps or graininess.
  • Soften the cream cheese to room temperature: This will make it easier to mix and will help to prevent lumps.
  • Use unsalted butter: This will allow you to control the amount of salt in the frosting.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar: This will help to prevent the frosting from becoming too thick or grainy.
  • Beat the frosting until it is light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the frosting and make it smooth and creamy.
  • Add flavorings to taste: You can add vanilla extract, almond extract, lemon zest, or other flavorings to the frosting to taste.
  • Use the frosting immediately or store it in the refrigerator: The frosting can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
