How to Make Homemade Whipped Cream And Cream Cheese Icing

  1. In a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer), combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.
  2. Attach the whisk attachment to your mixer (if using) and beat on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy. If mixing by hand, use a sturdy whisk and mix vigorously until smooth.
  3. With the mixer running on medium speed, slowly pour in 1 cup of heavy cream.
  4. Stop the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form—the frosting should hold its shape when you lift the whisk.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed by adding more powdered sugar. Gently fold in any desired additions like chocolate chips, sprinkles, or zest.
