Ingredients!:
(makes about 12 cupcakes!)
- 2 cups sifted confectioners sugar (icing or powdered)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- If desired: Food coloring
How To?:
- 1. In an electric mixer or with your hand mixer, cream the butter until it is very smooth and fluffy.
- 2. Now, add the vanilla extract. On low speed, gradually beat in the icing sugar. Don’t forget to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- 3. Now add the cream cheese and beat on high speed until your frosting is all light and fluffy. (3mins) – I would suggest to give it a taste, if the frosting is still too sweet for you, then the milk comes into play. Gradually add milk, bit by bit, beat the frosting and taste again. Make sure it does not become too soft and runny because you still want to frost your marshmallows – so it has to have a good consistency (not too thin!)
- 4. If your frosting is too runny, just add in a little bit more icing sugar. If you like the taste and consistency, tint your frosting with your desired food coloring. I usually use brands such as Wilton, Americolor or Sugarflair.
- Now fill your piping bag with your frosting and frost nice swirls on top of your cupcake.
