Perfectly Fluffy Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting

“It was the frosting on the cake.”, they always say. They are referring to that little thing that made whatever it is they are talking about even better. That’s what frosting does for any dessert (and even some breakfast items) in my opinion. This whipped cream frosting is no exception.

In this recipe, an airy, subtly sweet whipped cream is folded into cream cheese that has been beaten to a smooth, creamy consistency. The result is a dessert topping that boasts the richness of your favorite cream cheese frosting while simultaneously maintaining the fluffy quality of whipped cream. Once piped or slathered onto your favorite cake or cupcake, it will stand strong, keeping its shape until every last bite of the dessert has disappeared. And for those who aren’t into overly sweet frostings, this makes a great alternative. I think you just discovered your new favorite frosting.

The Best Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

Whether you’re looking for a frosting that’s less sweet than a traditional Vanilla Buttercream, or simply love cream cheese frosting, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve been using this frosting recipe for years and it really is the best. It’s not too sweet, but it’s not too tangy either.

One of the requirements for me with cream cheese frosting is that it be pipe-able and hold it’s shape. In order to to do that you’ll need a slightly thicker frosting. To achieve that consistency, this recipe has a touch more powdered sugar in it. If you don’t want to be able to pipe your frosting, you could reduce that.

Additionally, this cream cheese frosting recipe as written is going to be great for cupcakes, but I actually thicken it up a touch more for cakes. If you like a thicker layer of frosting on the outside of your cake, you’ll want it a little thicker, which again means a touch more powdered sugar. Otherwise, you might find your frosting sliding right down the sides of your cake, which would definitely be a bummer.

Easy Homemade Icing for Sugar Cookies

You really can’t buy the kind of icing that hardens at a store. This type of icing must be homemade, and most versions of it are royal icing recipes. While I love my fool-proof royal icing, sometimes I want something a little less finicky, especially if I’m not trying to decorate my sugar cookies with a super intricate design.

While royal icing requires whipping, this simple alternative takes 1 minute to mix together. After that, you just have to color it! If you need a quick-fix icing for cute little cookie designs like snowmen, candy canes or Christmas trees, this recipe is the way to go.

And it’s not just a decorative topping – it also tastes delicious! You can make a classic vanilla version or switch it up with another flavor of choice. Either way, your cookies are about to get an upgrade.
