Condensed Milk Cream Cheese Frosting
Description
Condensed Milk Cream Cheese Frosting is prepared by first creaming butter with sweetened condensed milk until thick and smooth. Then, softened cream cheese is incorporated gradually to avoid lumps, lending a tangy richness that balances the sweetness. Finally, thawed Cool Whip is folded in gently to lighten the texture, making the frosting fluffy and smooth.
The resulting frosting is sweet but not overly sugary, and it spreads and whips easily. It works well on layered cakes, cupcakes, or as a dessert topping. The presence of cream cheese provides a subtle tanginess that complements the sweet condensed milk base.
Use the frosting immediately or refrigerate until needed. Chilling may slightly firm it up but it can be softened again by brief mixing before use. This frosting is a good option when a creamy, less dense finish is wanted without relying solely on heavy cream.
Ingredients
- 3/4 sweetened condensed milk 10.5 oz (standard can is 14 oz, can
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks or 226 grams, at room temperature
- 3/4 package 6 oz of 8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
- 8 oz Cool Whip thawed in refrigerator
Instructions
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, on medium/high speed, whisk together butter and condensed milk on medium speed until it is a thick cream (5 minutes). It should be the consistency of frosting. It thickens as you mix it.
- On medium/low-speed, mix in cream cheese, one tablespoon at a time until mixed through and not lumpy.
- Reduce speed to low and mix in cool whip just until mixed through.
- Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
