Description
Made with cold cream cheese and whipping cream, this cream cheese frosting is especially light and perfectly sweet. It comes together in no time and complements many a cake or cupcake!
Notes:
Adapted from this Stella Park’s recipe. I use a slightly different method: I beat the cream cheese and sugar first; then add the heavy cream. And I use slightly more cream, too.
Ingredients
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, cold
- 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
- 3/4 cup (187 g) heavy cream
- pinch sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Beat the cold cream cheese and sugar together until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the heavy cream, a pinch of salt, and the vanilla. Beat again until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes more.
- Taste. Adjust with more heavy cream, if desired, and beat again to lighten. I often add a pinch more salt, too.
