The BEST Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe
Cream cheese is a fresh cheese meaning it is made from curds that have not been aged or pressed. It has a fat content of 33 percent making it fairly fatty with a moderate 7 grams of protein per 100 grams. Depending on the brand the sodium content can vary but its salty profile makes it ideal for sweet and savory dishes.
While cream cheese frosting can be too rich and thick for a certain dessert a glaze is a great compromise that adds a sweet and tangy touch without overwhelming your cake. This frosting also works well with cinnamon rolls carrot cake donuts scones banana bread or muffins. Check out our recipe variations for different flavors.
"This is a great way to jazz up a cake or pastry without making too sweet or time-consuming a frosting. You can add this to pumpkin muffins lemon cake or apple cake to take it to the next level. It's easy to make and tastes amazing." —Tracy Wilk
