The Only Cream Cheese Frosting You’Ll Ever Need - weight Cream Cheese

Method

• 1. Cream together cream cheese, vanilla and butter until fluffy.
• 2. Sift or whisk powdered sugar to aerate it.
• 3. Stir powdered sugar into cream cheese mixture, 1 cup at a time, until well blended.
• 4. Makes enough to generously frost a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan, 24 cupcakes, or an 8-inch layer cake.
• Notes:
• - This makes a medium consistency frosting.
• - For a stiff decorator frosting: add more powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, until desired consistency.
• - For a thinner consistency to fill cupcakes or sandwich cookies, add about 1/2 cup less powdered sugar.
• - For chocolate cream cheese frosting: sift 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder to the powdered sugar before adding it to the cream cheese mixture.
• - For flavored cream cheese frosting: Substitute the flavored extract of your choice. Maple, lemon, or orange are wonderful.
