cream cheese frosting
where to find me
the basics
— makes more than enough to cover a three layer cake
— takes 15 minutes
the ingredients
— cream cheese | 16 oz, softened at room temp
— butter | 2/3 cup, softened at room temp
— powdered sugar | 6 cups
— vanilla extract | 2 tbs
closely adapted from Spend with Pennies
the process
— in a large bowl, whip cream cheese and butter until very light and fluffy, about 8 minutes
— gradually whip in powdered sugar, tasting when you get close to the end to make sure it’s not getting too sweet
— whip in vanilla extract, and continue to whip until light and fluffy, about another 2 minutes
notes
— gluten free until you put it on a cake
— not dairy free ever
