Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup Biscoff cookie butter
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of Biscoff cookie butter, 3 cups of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and softened butter. Using an electric mixer, beat them together on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the Biscoff cookie butter to the cream cheese and butter mixture. Continue to mix on medium speed until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. This should take another 1-2 minutes.
- Next, gradually add the powdered sugar to the bowl. It's best to add it in batches to prevent a sugar cloud from forming. Mix on low speed until the sugar is incorporated, then increase to medium speed until the frosting is smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Finally, add the vanilla extract and mix for an additional 30 seconds to ensure it is evenly distributed throughout the frosting.
- Your Cookie Butter Cream Cheese Frosting is now ready! You can use it immediately to frost your favorite cakes or cupcakes, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Before using refrigerated frosting, allow it to come to room temperature and give it a quick mix to restore its creamy texture.
Tips
- Soften Ingredients: For the best texture, make sure your cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature before mixing. This will help create a smooth and creamy frosting without lumps.
- Mix Gradually: When adding the powdered sugar, do it in batches. This prevents a cloud of sugar from forming and ensures a smoother incorporation into the frosting.
- Scrape the Bowl: Don’t forget to scrape down the sides of the bowl while mixing. This ensures all ingredients are well combined and helps achieve that perfect fluffy consistency.
- Taste Test: Feel free to adjust the sweetness! If you prefer a less sweet frosting, start with 2 cups of powdered sugar and gradually add more to taste.
- Storage Tips: If you make the frosting ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Just remember to let it come to room temperature and give it a quick mix before using!
- Versatile Use: This frosting is not just for cakes! Try it on cookies, brownies, or even as a dip for fresh fruit for a delightful treat.
