This is a smooth, rich cream cheese icing with a little more air in it than usual given the addition of well-whipped whipping cream. Full of vanilla and creamy sweetness. Ingredients:
2 packages of whole fat cream cheese (16 ounces) |
4 tablespoons butter |
1 cup whipping cream |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
5-6 cups sifted powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. Let the cream cheese and butter come to room temperature by leaving it unrefrigerated for about an hour.
2. Whip the softened cream cheese and butter together with an electric mixer until very soft and light.
3. Add the whipping cream and vanila and continue whipping until mixture is firm enough to pipe or spread.
4. Gradually add the powdered sugar and lightly fold or stir it into the cream.
5. Spread or pipe onto cakes or cupcakes.
