How To Make The Best Cream Cheese Frosting In The World

This is the best cream cheese frosting anywhere! I LOVE my mother’s recipe because it is good for every kind of cookie, doughnut, cake or pastry! I used to buy some famous Bundt shaped cakes because I liked the frosting, besides the cake itself, not anymore! This frosting is the best! You can make it thinner for a drizzle type frosting, or you make it thicker to use a piping tool of any kind.

I was so glad I found her recipe in her old wooden (heirloom treasure to me) recipe box.

Best Cream Cheese Frosting:

Here are the only ingredients you need….butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. I use clear vanilla to keep my frosting white. My favorite vanilla: Watkins Original Double Strength Extract, Vanilla, 11 Ounce. I also learned about vanilla bean paste: Nielsen Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste, 4 Ounce.

You Can Freeze This Cream Cheese Frosting:

I love this recipe because I can freeze a few batches of cream cheese frosting in small plastic containers. I just pull out the container from the freezer the day before I plan to use it and place it in the refrigerator and it’s ready to use when needed.

You should try this recipe on my cinnamon rolls: Linda’s Cinnamon Rolls.
