Cream Cheese Frosting104
- 22SpAaM <a oz. cream cheese (1/4 c.)
- 2 Tbsp. butter at room temperature
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- 1 to 1 1/4 c. icing sugar
- optional extra flavouring: grated lemon or orange zest, ground cinnamon, liqueur
2 secrets to making perfectly smooth cream cheese frosting: do not overbeat, and use cold - not softened - cream cheese.
If using href="http://dxckjgglgwav.com/">dxckjgglgwav</a food processor, just combine all ingredients and pulse until just smooth and creamy. If the frosting is too stiff, pulse for a few seconds more but do not overprocess.
If doing it by hand, beat together cream cheese, butter, and vanilla. Whisk in icing sugar.
This is enough frosting to cover one [carrot cake](/recipe/270).
