An easy , delicious frosting with cream cheese!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 50 grams or about 1/4 cup butter at room temperature
  • 300 grams or 3 cups icing sugar sifted
  • 125 grams or 1/2 cup cream cheese at room temperature

Instructions
 

  • Cube the butter, at room temperature and take it in a mixing bowl.
  • Sift in the icing sugar over the butter.
  • Beat this until the butter and sugar are mixed well. This will be like a fine powder as there is a lot more sugar than butter
  • Add in the cream cheese and beat until incorporated.
  • In a couple of minutes , you ll have a smooth frosting . If you rub it between your fingers, you ll feel no sugar and if you taste it, you won’t feel any grittiness. DO NOT over mix. It will not become smoother but will become too runny.

Notes

  • It seems like a lot of sugar but you ll need it for the required pip able consistency and trust me, the final result is the right amount of sweet.
  • Cream cheese frosting can be stored refrigerated (always) for upto 5 days
  • Iced cakes and cupcakes need to be refrigerated until ready to be eaten.
