Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 pound margarine or butter, at room temperature
- 2 pounds powdered sugar
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather the cream cheese and butter at room temperature to ensure effortless blending and prevent lumpy textures.
- Place the cream cheese and butter into a large mixing bowl, utilizing an electric mixer to whip them together until they transform into a velvety, homogeneous mixture with no visible streaks.
- Gradually introduce the powdered sugar into the creamy base, beginning at a low mixer speed to prevent sugar clouds from forming in your kitchen.
- Pause periodically during sugar incorporation to scrape down the bowl’s sides, guaranteeing complete integration of all ingredients and eliminating potential dry pockets.
- Once powdered sugar is fully combined, elevate the mixer’s speed to medium-high, allowing the frosting to develop a luxurious, aerated consistency.
- Carefully drizzle in the lemon juice and vanilla extract, mixing gently to preserve the frosting’s delicate structure and prevent liquid separation.
- Continue whipping the mixture for several minutes until it achieves a cloud-like, silky smoothness that will effortlessly glide across cakes and pastries.
- Taste and adjust flavoring if needed, ensuring a balanced, harmonious blend of sweetness and subtle citrus undertones.
- Transfer the finished frosting to a piping bag or storage container, ready to enhance your favorite baked creations with its creamy decadence.
Notes
- Cream cheese and butter must be at room temperature for smooth, lump-free blending.
- Mix on low speed when adding powdered sugar to prevent sugar clouds and messy kitchen surfaces.
- Scrape down bowl sides consistently to ensure even ingredient distribution.
- Extended mixing time (12 minutes) creates ultra-creamy, silky frosting texture.
- Avoid overmixing after adding lemon juice and vanilla to maintain perfect consistency.
- Store frosted desserts in refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
