Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 1 package cream cheese 8 ounce, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Beat butter and cream cheese in a mixing bowl with electric (or hand held) mixer for 3-4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Mixture should be light and fluffy.
- Add in vanilla, powdered sugar, and heavy cream. Beat an additiona 3-5 minutes until frosting has doubled in size and is fully blended and fluffy. Add more cream if you want the frosting thinner.
- Use on cakes and cupcakes as directed.
Notes
- Yes, you can make Cream Cheese Frosting without electric beaters or a stand mixer but it’s very difficult. You’ll need lots of arm strength to whisk the ingredients fast enough and vigorously enough to combine everything. I STRONGLY recommend using an electric mixer for this!
- You should store this cream cheese frosting in the fridge in an airtight container. It will stay good for 3 -4 days.
- No, I don’t recommend substituting milk for the heavy cream here. The higher fat content of the cream helps make the cream cheese frosting spreadable without getting runny.
