CREAM CHEESE COOL WHIP FROSTING RECIPE - (3.8/5)
Provided by MaryEllen
Number Of Ingredients 5
Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together softened cream cheese with the Cool Whip. Add the sugar, vanilla, and pudding mix, if using. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. If you would like a colored frosting, add several drops of food coloring and mix. Continue to add food coloring, stirring after each addition, until the frosting is the desired color. With a spatula, spread the frosting over your desired dessert, several tablespoons at a time. Once the entire surface is covered, use the spatula to smooth out the frosting and make sure it's evenly distributed over the surface. For an even more attractive cake, use a butter knife or spatula to create a wave-like design in the frosting. You can also spoon the frosting into a pastry bag (or a plastic storage bag with a small hole cut from one of the corners), and, with a frosting tip, squeeze frosting onto your dessert.

- 2. Beat with wire whisk 2 minutes.

Tips:
- Always start with cold heavy cream and a chilled bowl. This will help the cream whip up faster and more evenly.
- Don't overbeat the cream. Once it reaches stiff peaks, stop beating it or it will start to curdle.
- If you want a sweeter frosting, add powdered sugar to taste. You can also add other flavorings, such as vanilla extract, almond extract, or cocoa powder.
- Cool Whip frosting is best used immediately. However, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to use it, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before frosting your cake or cupcakes.
