Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 oz. salted butter (2 sticks), at room temperature
- 1/2 cup Crisco* shortening (just under 4 oz. on a kitchen scale)
- 8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
- 3 lbs powdered sugar
- 1 Tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 2-4 Tablespoons of milk (add to get consistency to pipe or spread)
Instructions
- Place the butter and Crisco in a large mixing bowl. Mix on low speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until smooth and creamy.
- Add the vanilla extract and cream cheese. Mix again on low speed until everything is fully combined and very smooth.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar, a little at a time, mixing on low speed until it is all incorporated. The frosting will be very thick at this stage.
- Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition until the frosting reaches your desired consistency for spreading or decorating. Usually 2 to 3 tablespoons works well.
- Once the frosting is smooth and fluffy, it’s ready to use.
Notes
- If it’s too thick, add a small amount of milk or heavy cream to get a thinner consistency.
- If it’s too soft, add more powdered sugar.
- Always mix on low speed at the end to reduce air bubbles.
- For best results, make sure your ingredients are at room temperature. Cold cream cheese will leave lumps and make it harder to get a smooth finish.
