Prep:10min

If you don’t like regular buttercream (too sweet!) but want a quick and easy frosting that is stable, this whipped cream cheese frosting is for you! It feels so light because of the heavy cream, and since it doesn’t require sugar to stabilize it, it’s subtly sweet and you can control the sweetness. The cream cheese makes it more stable and adds a tangy flavor that compliments a lot of baked good! You can add any flavor extract or fruit powders without changing the texture.
