PIES AND TACOS
This Cream Cheese Frosting is rich, silky, and perfectly pipeable.
Whipped butter and cream cheese create a light, fluffy frosting. Gradually add powdered sugar, then vanilla and salt for flavor. Smooth, stable, and easy to adjust in thickness.
Begin by beating the softened butter on medium speed with a hand mixer in a large bowl for 2 to 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add the softened cream cheese and continue to beat until smooth and fully combined.
Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar (confectioner’s sugar), one cup at a time, starting with 5 cups. Add more sugar only if the frosting feels too soft, or if you prefer a thicker consistency.
If the frosting becomes too stiff, incorporate a teaspoon of milk or heavy cream at a time until it loosens to your liking.
This recipe makes 6-7 cups of frosting, enough to generously frost a cake or a batch of 24 cupcakes.
This frosting is a must-have in your repertoire.
