Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb Cream cheese
  • 1 lb Powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp Heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch (or tapioca starch)
  • 1/2 tsp Lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt

Instruction

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on medium speed combine cream cheese, lemon juice, cornstarch, salt, and heavy cream for a minute. Pro tip - the cream cheese must be at room temperature otherwise it will be lumpy.
  • Gradually add powdered sugar one cup at a time until you've used all of the powdered sugar. Then, add the vanilla extract and continue to whip on medium-high for 1 to 2 minutes more until it is smooth light and fluffy. Pro tip - do not overwhip cream cheese as it can separate or become curdled.
  • 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 to a smooth but firm spreadable consistency or it will be too soft to smooth with the bench scraper.
