CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Cream Cheese Frosting image

Whether smothering my Red Velvet Cupcakes (page 28) or topping Zucchini Cupcakes (page 61), this simple, tangy, and rich frosting is a classic with true versatility.

Yield makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

3/4 cup heavy cream
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup agave nectar

Steps:

  • In a deep bowl, whip the cream with a handheld mixer until stiff peaks form. In a separate larger bowl, whip the cream cheese and agave nectar until well combined.
  • Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Use immediately or store in a glass Mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Tips:

  • Using cold heavy cream and cream cheese: Make sure to chill your heavy cream and cream cheese before starting. This will help the frosting whip up more easily and create a lighter, fluffier texture.
  • Whip the cream and cream cheese separately: For the best results, whip the heavy cream and cream cheese separately before combining them. This will help to incorporate more air into the frosting, making it light and airy.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar: When adding the powdered sugar, do so gradually while the mixer is running on low speed. This will help to prevent the frosting from becoming too thick or grainy.
  • Add flavorings and extracts: Feel free to add flavorings and extracts to your whipped cream cheese frosting to create different variations. Some popular options include vanilla extract, almond extract, lemon zest, or cocoa powder.
  • Use the frosting immediately or store it for later: You can use the frosting immediately after making it, or you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to use, let the frosting come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before using.

Conclusion:
