Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream, cold
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese. Beat with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 2
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat on low speed initially to avoid a powdered sugar dust cloud, then increase to medium speed until fully combined and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
In a separate chilled mixing bowl, pour the cold heavy whipping cream. Using a hand or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-5 minutes. Be cautious not to overwhip as it can turn into butter.
Step 4
Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Use gentle, sweeping motions to combine without deflating the whipped cream.
Step 5
Fold in the remaining whipped cream until the mixture is fully combined and light.
Step 6
Use the frosting immediately for cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts, or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If stored, briefly whip with a spatula to restore fluffiness before use.
