This cream cheese frosting made without powdered sugar. It uses all-natural real food ingredients including cream cheese, whipping cream (heavy cream), coconut sugar and vanilla extract. You can use this frosting on top of your cakes, cupcakes and cookies.
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.
