Notes
RECIPE NOTES & TIPSIngredients 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.
More Recipe Tips:
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.
