Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese , softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream , optional
- 2 Gel food coloring optional, drops
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a medium mixing bowl using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, beat cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the vanilla, beating again. Add the powdered sugar in stages until it is a thick consistency.
- If the mixture is dry and brittle, add small amounts of cream until it is soft, but holds its shape.
- Transfer to a piping bag fitted with your desired tip. Only fill 1/3 of the way, it makes it easier to pipe.
- Pipe out rosettes onto a wax or parchment paper lined rimmed baking sheet.
- Allow to set for 1-2 hours at room temperature.
- Store between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
