CREAMY CHOCOLATE FROSTING

CREAMY VANILLA FROSTING

This is the recipe that I use for the Cut out frosted butter cookies. This recipe is also in the Best Foods of Christmas cookbook. I always double this recipe so we have plenty of frosting to go around for everyone to decorate. I also divide the frosting into thirds. I'll take one bowl of frosting and add red food coloring to make it pink and add peppermint extract. In another bowl of frosting I'll add green food coloring for green frosting. In the other bowl of frosting I keep it white for white frosting. YEAH now for the FUN part.

Steps:

  • Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in vanilla bean paste and salt. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually beat in powdered sugar. Increase speed to high and continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Do Ahead: Frosting can be made 5 days ahead; chill, or freeze up to 1 month. Bring to room temperature, then beat with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. If texture is not smooth, beat in water 1 tsp. at a time. Editor's note: This recipe first appeared on Epicurious in March 2017. Head this way for a different style of cream cheese frosting that some people call magic →

2 (8-oz. packages) cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
⅛ tsp. kosher salt
2⅓ cups powdered sugar

SMOOTH & CREAMY FROSTING

This is so, well, smooth and creamy! The recipe is passed down from my mother-in-law. I've seen similar recipes, but none this simple, fast and tasty. It's good on just about everything, but not suitable for decorating. It's just very spreadable. We particularly love it on a refrigerated Jell-o cake during the summer. Also, any flavor of instant pudding is a hit with this one! Our favorites are vanilla, lemon and chocolate. Covers the *top* of a 9x13 cake very well.
