Notes
RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
Ingredients Info:
- cream cheese - choose a block of full fat cream cheese (not light, skim or spreadable).
- butter - either salted or unsalted is fine.
- icing sugar - choose pure icing sugar for a firmer frosting or icing sugar mixture for a softer frosting.
- For a smooth result, ensure that your cream cheese and butter are at room temperature before using.
- If your frosting is too runny, add extra icing sugar and mix again. If the frosting is too thick, add a tiny splash of milk and mix again.
- Keep the frosting stored in the fridge and consume within 3 days.
- For a lemony twist, add the grated zest and juice from 1 lemon (optional) and omit the vanilla extract. You may find that you need to add extra sugar when using lemon juice as it makes the frosting softer.
- Adding a pinch of salt to your frosting will counterbalance the sweetness of the icing sugar.
