This frosting is not for those on a diet, concerned about their cholesterol or their bad fat intake; HOWEVER, having said that, this is a wonderfully tasty frosting that is easy to make.
Let's start with the list of ingredients, then you will understand what I mean.
8oz of cream cheese (softened)
1 stick of butter flavored Crisco
1 box of Confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon of Vanilla
See, there is nothing super healthy about it. (Well, is there anything really healthy about any frosting?)
Now lets get to making this heavenly delight.
- Place the softened cream cheese and the Crisco into a stand mixer and beat until fluffy.
- Slowly add the confectioners sugar, beating until smooth.
- Add the vanilla.
- Beat until blended in.
That's it! It's ready to use immediately - but if I have the time I chill it for about 15 minutes before I spread it on the cake. Don't chill too long or it will tear your cake or muffins apart.
The other think that is nice about this frosting is you really don't need a stand mixer. I didn't have a good mixer for years and made this frosting. All you need is really soft ingredients and a good arm - or a child or spouse who really wants frosting on his cake. Working the frosting by hand just means it won't be quite as smooth or as fluffy.
I always use this on my carrot cake and plan to try it on the Amazon Cake.
Good cooking!
