How to Make Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting
- In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened unsalted butter until smooth and creamy.
- Add 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. Beat until well combined.
- Gradually add 3 cups of powdered sugar, beating on low speed until incorporated. Then, increase the speed to medium and beat for another 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness as needed by adding more powdered sugar. If the frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or lemon juice at a time until desired consistency is reached.
