Butter And Cream Cheese Frosting Recipes

Steps:

• Beat softened butter and cream cheese until well blended.
• Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until creamy.

Steps:

• Melt 1/2 cup butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and cook until the milk solids turn brown and give off a nutty fragrance, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Combine the remaining 1/4 butter and cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Pour the browned butter into the mixing bowl and set aside for about three minutes, letting the warm butter soften the cream cheese and cold butter. Scrape the black seeds from the vanilla bean and add them to the bowl. Add the bourbon and mix on low speed until smooth.
• Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and cream, alternating between the two, until the proper consistency is reached. If the frosting is too soft for decorating, refrigerate it for about half an hour before using.

Steps:

• In a large bowl (or KA Mixer) cream together shortening and butter.
• Stop and scrape down, start again till creamy.
• Add cut-up cream cheese and cream again, scraping down sides till fluffy on high.
• Add vanilla extract and blend.
• Add at time confectioner's sugar, starting on low speed as to not spray sugar all over, then increase speed till blended each time and scrape down each time.
• You may add salt if you need to.
• Turn on high speed for 15 minutes to make frosting blended, smooth and fluffy.
• Also you may have to chill frosting after completed.

Steps:

• Place cream cheese and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until creamy, about 30 seconds.
• With the mixer on low, slowly add sugar, scraping down the sides of the bowls as necessary.
• Add vanilla and increase mixer speed to medium. Blend until frosting is fluffy, about 1 minute.

Steps:

• Heat butter in a microwave-safe dish in microwave on high for 7 seconds. Transfer butter to a bowl and beat with cream cheese and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until mixture is nearly fluffy, about 5 minutes. Gradually stir confectioners' sugar into cream cheese mixture to make a smooth frosting. Store in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Mix together cream cheese and peanut butter with mixer until smooth.
• Add vanilla and powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, along with the milk or cream and beat until spreading consistency.
• (I used only 3 cups powdered sugar and 2-3 tbsp. of milk).
• Spread on cooled cake.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, over medium heat, cook 1/2 cup butter (1 stick) until browned and nutty fragranced. Watch carefully, stir occasionally and do not let burn. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
• Cube the other 1/4 cup of butter (1/2 stick) and place in a mixing bowl with softened cream cheese. Pour browned butter over top and allow to sit for about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract or vanilla bean seeds. With an electric mixer, beat until the butter and cream cheese are smooth. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar until the proper consistency is reached. (To avoid lumps, shake/sift sugar through a sieve.) Add 1-3 tablespoon heavy cream, if needed, to thin to a spreading consistency.
• If the frosting is too soft for decorating, refrigerate for about half an hour before using.

Steps:

• Beat the softened butter to a soft and even consistency. Add the orange juice, if using, then the icing sugar. Cream until you have a smooth, soft buttercream consistency.
• Add the cream cheese and work it in - don't beat it in, just slowly mix with a wooden spoon. Depending on how soft the mixture is, you may want to put it in the fridge for 10 mins at this point. If it's runny, it will firm up again. It should be spreadable and not run off the cake.

Steps:

• In large bowl, beat softened butter and cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed 2 to 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally, until smooth and creamy.
• Stir in vanilla, then stir in powdered sugar. Add more powdered sugar as needed until frosting is a thick spreadable consistency.
• Spread or pipe frosting on cooled cake or cupcakes.
