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!

Time 5m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 (8 ounce) containers cream cheese (room temperature)
1 (16 ounce) container marshmallow cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients and beat with a mixer until smooth.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cream cheese: For the best flavor and texture, use full-fat cream cheese that has been softened to room temperature.
  • Beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy: This will help to incorporate air into the frosting, making it light and fluffy.
  • Add the powdered sugar gradually: This will help to prevent the frosting from becoming too thick or grainy.
  • Use a stand mixer or hand mixer on low speed: This will help to prevent the frosting from becoming overbeaten, which can make it dense and heavy.
  • Add flavorings to taste: You can add a variety of flavorings to this frosting, such as vanilla extract, almond extract, lemon zest, or chocolate chips.

Conclusion:

This cream cheese frosting is the perfect topping for any cake, cupcake, or cookie. It is easy to make, incredibly delicious, and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and endless possibilities for customization, this frosting is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
