This Cream Cheese Frosting is a very versatile frosting that I use on cakes and cinnamon rolls, or sometimes I just eat a big glob with a spoon! It’s my favorite. Enjoy!

The Best Cream Cheese Frosting
The Best Cream Cheese Frosting is a basic recipe that can be used in a variety of ways.
I always use an electric mixer to mix cream cheese frosting. You’re really going to get a good arm workout if you don’t use an electric mixer.

Save it for a glaze or filling ?

HELP! I accidentally used regular sugar instead of confectioners sugar. I’m so upset with myself because it turned out delicious otherwise. Do you have any suggestions or should I just suck it up?
Paula says
I don’t think there’s anything you can do. It may dissolve after a while but I’m just not certain.

Hi Paula, this recipe looks so good and I can’t wait to put this on those Red Velvet Brownies. I do have a question, do you know how much this will make? Or do I need to double it. Also, if you DO have any leftover haha 🙂 can it be frozen for later? Thanks so much and keep the recipes coming :)……
Paula says
I don’t know how many cups, I’ll make note to measure it next time. It frosts one 3 layer cake, if that helps. It will easily frost 24 cupcakes. I almost always have Cream Cheese frosting in my fridge, I haven’t tried to freeze it, but I have kept it in the fridge for 2 weeks before.
