Delicious as this frosting is, it is also a good base for other add-on flavours. Since it is one of the most basic frosting, play around with different ingredients to get a whole new flavored frosting. I usually add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to add some zing. Other great ideas for your cream cheese frosting are adding some mini chocolate chips or orange or lemon zest or liqueur or coffee powder or shredded coconut to it.
2 sticks of unsalted butter
500g cream cheese
3 3/4 cup sifted castor sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature. In a mixing bowl, mix butter and sugar till creamy. Add the cream cheese and mix til fluffy. Finally, add the vanilla extract and mis till the mixture is creamy.
Tip: You can also use whipped cream in place of half of the butter. You will end up with a heavier, thought thoroughly delicious whipped cream cheese frosting.
Since the frosting contains butter and cheese, make sure to refrigerate it. Don't leave it out too long or it will melt. It can be refrigerated in an airtight container and will stay for upto three days.
