Buttercream Cream Cheese Decorator Frosting image

This is a recipe that I created because I decorate a-lot of cakes and cupcakes. This works well for decorating, and it has lots of flavor. I let whatever I decorate set uncovered for several hours for the frosting to firm up and then I cover it loosely until time to transport or eat. The only problem I seem to have with this frosting is making sure I get enough for my cakes or cupcakes before the kids or my husband hits the bowl!

Time 5m

Yield 6 cups approximately, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup Crisco shortening (preferably butter flavored)
1/2 teaspoon coconut flavoring
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
1/2 teaspoon butter flavoring
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 -4 tablespoons milk
2 lbs powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Beat the cream cheese, butter and crisco on medium or high speed for 1 minute or until light and fluffy. Add extracts and flavorings and 3 tablespoons of milk, beat on medium speed until combined. Gradually add the powdered sugar in about six different intervals and beat until well combined between intervals, using a rubber scraper to make sure all ingredients are incorporated. Beat on high speed for approximately 1 minute to increase the volume. Frosting will be light and fluffy, you may need to add up to 1 tablespoons of milk for desired consistency. I usually add up to 1 teaspoons extra of one of the extracts if I am going to use the frosting for use in a decorating bag. I just prefer the flavoring instead of the extra milk.
  • If you are going to use this as a colored decorator frosting I've found that adding the gel colors when you add the extracts and milk seems to work the best.

I had some trouble getting the frosting to the right consistency. It was a bit too runny at first, but I added more powdered sugar and it turned out fine.

This is the most delicious and versatile frosting I've ever used. It's perfect for cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and even as a dip for fruit. I love that it's not too sweet and has a nice tang from the cream cheese.
