Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup whipping cream - or heavy cream
- ½ cup coconut sugar - maple syrup, or lakanto monkfruit sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 oz cream cheese - room temperature
Instructions
- Set the cream cheese on the counter for a few hours to soften. Then slice into small pieces.
- Add the whipping cream, coconut sugar (or other sweetener), and vanilla extract to a large bowl.
- Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the cream until it starts to form peaks. This will take 2-3 minutes.
- Start adding in small pieces of cream cheese and blending.
- Blend until all cream cheese has been added. The texture might be a bit clumpy at this point. You still need to mix for another 1-2 minutes.
- Tip: If you have clumps of cream cheese that won't break down, let the frosting sit on the counter for an hour, then mix again.
- Frosting will have a light brown tint (if you use coconut sugar or maple syrup) and will be creamy and delicious. You can use on your cakes, cupcakes and cookies!
Recipe Notes:
- Icing can be spread onto cupcakes, cookies and cakes with a silicone spatula or using a piping bag. You can make an inexpensive piping bag using a sandwich bag by adding the frosting, sealing the bag and cutting off a tiny piece of one corner.
