- Next, add powdered sugar one cup at a time. Once all the powdered sugar has been used whip the frosting for 2 to 3 minutes on medium speed until light and fluffy.Pro tip - do not overwhip cream cheese as it can separate and become soft.
- Consistency – Add a few tablespoons of powdered sugar to make it firmer or add a few tablespoons of heavy cream to loosen itPro tip - if using it to frost a cake keep the frosting firmer or it will be too soft to smooth with the bench scraper.
