Instruction

  • In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment cream the cream cheese and butter to remove any lumps. Add the heavy cream, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract– cream another minutePro tip - use medium-low speed for cream cheese to prevent it from separating.
  • 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.
