Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter (softened)
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter. Beat together using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Mix again on medium speed until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition to prevent sugar from flying out of the bowl. Once all the powdered sugar is added, increase the speed to medium and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Taste the frosting and adjust the sweetness by adding an extra tablespoon of honey if desired. Mix again briefly to combine.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or rolls, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow the frosting to come to room temperature and re-whip before using if chilled.
