Decadent Cream Cheese Frosting
This frosting is sweet, rich, and absolutely satisfying.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- 8 ounces (226g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 teaspoons (10mL) Cointreau OR pure vanilla extract
- Confectioner's sugar -- 3 1/2 to 5 cups (438g to 625g), depending upon desired consistency
Instructions
- In the bowl of a standing mixer (or in any large bowl, if mixing by hand), cream together the butter and cream cheese at medium to high speed. Beat in the Cointreau (or vanilla extract). At low speed, add enough confectioner's sugar a little at a time until you achieve the consistency you want: 3 1/2 cups for spreading, and up to 5 cups for piping.
