Yield: 12 cupcakes
Calories: 67kcal
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese softened, at room temperature for 30 minutes
- 1 ΒΌ cup Powdered Sugar
Optional - add if frosting is too thick
- 1-2 tablespoons Milk of Choice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Before you start, note that this is a spreadable frosting. It doesn't pipe well because the texture is a bit slimy and not fluffy. It won't hold its shape if pipped on cupcakes.
- Cut the cream cheese block into small cubes and place it in the bowl of your stand mixer.
- Using the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese until smooth. If too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk.
- Add powdered sugar and keep beating to incorporate until the frosting is fluffy.
- Add vanilla extract if desired.
- Store for one hour in the fridge to thicken.
- Spread on top of cupcakes or cover an 8-inch cake.
Storage
- Store the frosting for up to 2 days in the fridge in an airtight container.
