Easy, Creamy, Fluffy Homemade Cream Cheese Frosting
I’m not a big fan of frostings. Most of them are just waaay to sweet and completely overpower whatever you put it on. However I LOVVVVE this homemade cream cheese frosting recipe.
This frosting is sweet but not overly sweet. I can eat a spoonful without gagging. It’s quick, easy, fluffy, creamy and spreads with ease! I love that I can still taste the cream cheese in this recipe. Once you’ve made this frosting, you’ll realize what an insult store bought cream cheese frostings are.
Nothing can take the place of a frosting made with real butter baby!!! I use this homemade cream cheese frosting recipe for my red velvet cakes, carrot cakes, ice cream cakes, chocolate cakes and whatever else tastes good with a cream cheese frosting.

Notes
Baked two set of this wonderful Red Velvet cake today, I used two 250g of Mascarpone cream cheese 1/2 ‘
cup milk 2capful of vanilla extract and approximately 5 cups of icing sugar , this due to covering a three layer cake… I have had no conpalints about the sweetness so far..
How much is a stick of butter?
1/2 cup
So are we supposed to used 8oz or 16 oz of cream cheese?
I used 2*8oz pack but it was way too runny – I’m thinking it should be 8oz. Please help as going to make it again today!
If the frosting seems runny place it in the fridge for an hour and then frost the cake. Cream cheese frosting is extremely sensitive to warm temperatures, keeping it cool is your best bet.
the milk makes runny NOT the cream cheese
Frosting was good but too weak, I didn’t want to add anymore sugar to make it too sweet but should of added another stick of butter. I will see how that works.
I tried this with your red velvet cake recipe and I absolutely loved it! It was great!
I thought the frosting came out perfect, not too sweet at all! Thanks for the recipe!
