Make Strawberry Cream Cheese Icing

For delectable cupcakes or a special birthday cake, top your sweet confection with homemade strawberry cream cheese icing. This delightful concoction will be a hit at any party or gathering.

Ingredients

  • 1 (8 oz/225g) package of cream cheese
  • 1 cups unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/4 cup of strawberry preserves (choose the type of preserves based on your taste for consistency—some preserves are chunkier and have more actual fruit)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups confectioners (icing) sugar
  • 1 pinch of salt.

Steps

  1. Combine the cream cheese and butter in a large mixing bowl. If possible, use an electric mixer set at medium speed.
  2. Allow the cream cheese and butter to combine for up to three minutes or until fully combined.
  3. Slowly add strawberry preserves little by little. Add until fully integrated into the mixture.
  4. Add the vanilla. Allow the mixer to continue to run until you no longer see the vanilla inside the cream cheese.
  5. Integrate the confectioner’s sugar and salt. For best results, add the sugar in small increments to avoid having it splash outside the bowl. Consider adding it in 2 tablespoon amounts until you have added the entire 4 cups.
  6. Finished. It's now ready for spreading on your cake or other baked confection.

Tips

  • Create a fluffier icing by whipping for a longer amount of time.
