Ingredients

  • 300g icing sugar , sifted
  • 50g unsalted butter , at room temperature
  • 125g cream cheese, cold

Method

Step 1

Beat the icing sugar and butter together in a freestanding electric mixer with a paddle attachment (or use a handheld electric whisk) on medium-slow speed until the mixture comes together and is well mixed.

Step 2

Add the cream cheese in one go and beat until it is completely incorporated. Turn the mixer up to medium-high speed.

Step 3

Continue beating until the frosting is light and fluffy, at least 5 minutes. Do not overbeat, as it can quickly become runny.
