Ingredients
Frosting Ingredients
- 1 cup softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup salted softened butter
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Prepare the base mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, softened salted butter, and honey until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This ensures a creamy and consistent texture throughout the frosting.
- Add powdered sugar gradually: Slowly incorporate the powdered sugar, adding it in portions while continuously mixing. Beat the mixture until it becomes light, fluffy, and free of any lumps. This step is crucial to achieve the perfect frosting consistency for spreading or piping.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature to prevent lumps and ensure smooth mixing.
- For a thinner consistency, add a teaspoon of milk or cream gradually.
- Store leftover frosting covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Before using, bring to room temperature and re-whip if necessary.
- This frosting pairs exceptionally well with carrot cakes, red velvet cakes, and spice cakes.
