Servings Cups
Equipment
- 1 Stand Mixer If you have one, use it!
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Start by using a whisk attachment (as opposed to the paddle) on your stand mixer to beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar, vanilla and a pinch of salt and beat to combine until smooth. Scrape down edges and make sure it's smooth.
- With mixer running, start drizzling in cream. If you add it all at once too fast, you run the risk of lumps so steady is best. Continue beating for several minutes until it's smooth and fluffy, with stiff peaks.
Notes
This recipe yields about 4 cups frosting, which is enough to frost an 8-in 2 layer cake with some frosting in the middle as well. (See example, here).
- If decorating a cake ahead of time, spread or pipe onto cake and then store cake in the fridge. this is great straight from the fridge, or set at room temp for about 20 minutes first, to come to temperature.
