Cream Cheese Frosting
Author: Patty from The PKP Way
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
- 12 ounces (1½ bricks) cream cheese, room temperature*
- ¾ cup (1½ sticks) salted butter, room temperature
- 4½ (540 grams) cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 1½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons coconut milk**
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- Slowly add the sugar, scraping down the sides as necessary.
- Add the extract and milk until combined***.
Notes
*Use brick-style, full-fat cream cheese
**Found in the same area as the dairy free milks
*** I found this was the perfect consistency for frosting, but if it needs to be thinner, add in the milk 1 tablespoon at at time until the desired consistency is reached. Similarly, if it needs to be thickened, add the sugar in ¼ cup at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
