How to Make Marshmallow Cream Cheese Frosting

In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup (227g) pre-whipped cream cheese and 1/2 cup (approximately 113g) marshmallow creme.
Mix thoroughly with a hand mixer or stand mixer on low speed until well combined.
Taste the frosting and adjust sweetness as needed. Add the remaining marshmallow creme, approximately 1/2 cup (approximately 113g), a tablespoon at a time until you reach your preferred level of sweetness. Mix until smooth after each addition.
Once the desired sweetness is reached, beat with a mixer on medium speed for another minute for a light and fluffy consistency.
Spread evenly over your completely cooled cake.
Chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to firm up (optional, but recommended).
