Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, blend together the cream cheese, butter, lemon juice, and vanilla. Gradually add the powdered sugar until it is completely incorporated into the frosting. Food coloring can be added to give the frosting a lovely lemon color. About 12 drops works perfectly, but this is optional. Fold in the whipped topping.

Refrigerate overnight before piping it onto cupcakes. This would also be delicious on cake, fruit, or tarts.
*Keep refrigerated.
