Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

Ingredients

250 g Philadelphia cream cheese blocks straight out of the fridge
250 g softened, good quality butter
350 g softened icing sugar (sifted)
2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup milk powder

Preparation

Step 1

1/ Place your cream cheese into the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment mix it on low to begin with to help break the cheese up a little. Once it looks like its starting to smooth out, stop mixing, and scrape down the bowl with a spatula. (It’s important to scrape down your bowl each time you add another ingredient.) Add your softened butter and mix on high speed until it’s completely smooth.

2/ Next add your sifted icing sugar, milk powder and vanilla extract and mix on low to begin with, then once it’s mixed in put it up on high speed again until it gets fluffy and turns a pale white colour.
