How to Make Light Silky Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting

  1. In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces (225g) of softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup (100g) of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until completely smooth and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup (240ml) of heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  3. Do not overbeat! Overmixing will deflate the frosting and make it less airy. Frost your baked goods immediately or chill for a firmer consistency.
