Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cool Whip or whipped topping
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Heavy whipping cream (optional, for extra fluffiness)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the Cool Whip using a spatula. Ensure everything is well combined but mix gently to retain the fluffy texture.
If you prefer extra fluffiness, add the heavy whipping cream and beat on low for 30-60 seconds until light and airy.
Once the frosting is ready, spread it immediately onto your dessert or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to allow it to set slightly.
Store any leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir gently before reusing.
