CREAM CHEESE COOL WHIP FROSTING RECIPE - (3.8/5)



Cream Cheese Cool Whip Frosting Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by MaryEllen

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (16-ounce) container whipped topping (thawed, if frozen)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (3.5-ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix (or other desired flavor), optional

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.

Tips:

  • Use softened butter for a creamier frosting. Softened butter is easier to blend with the other ingredients and will result in a smoother frosting.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. This will help it blend smoothly with the other ingredients and prevent lumps.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice can be used, but fresh lemon juice will give the frosting a brighter, more citrusy flavor.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the frosting to enhance the flavor. Salt can help to balance the sweetness of the frosting and make the other flavors pop.
  • If you want a thicker frosting, chill it for 30 minutes before using. This will help the frosting to firm up and hold its shape.
  • If you want a thinner frosting, add a little bit of milk or cream. This will help to thin out the frosting and make it easier to spread.
  • Decorate your cakes and cupcakes with lemon zest, fresh berries, or chopped nuts. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your desserts.

Conclusion:

Lemon Cool Whip Frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its bright citrus flavor and creamy texture, Lemon Cool Whip Frosting is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
