Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, cold (1 block)
  • 1 cup (120 g) confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups heavy cream, cold

Note: Gram measurements do not adjust automatically with the serving multiplier.

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth (about 1 minute).
  2. Add confectioners’ sugar and beat slowly until incorporated. Then, add vanilla and beat on medium speed until fully combined and smooth. Scrape down sides with spatula and beat again briefly.
  3. With mixer on low, slowly pour in heavy cream. Once all the cream is added, increase speed to medium-high and whip until stiff peaks form.
STORAGE
  1. Keep refrigerated. It will last 2-3 days in the refrigerator before it begins to lose its moisture.

Notes

AMOUNT: This makes enough for 24 cupcakes or a two layer 9" cake. If you are going to be doing a lot of piping, I would double the recipe. You may have extra but better to be safe!
STORAGE: Keep refrigerated. It will last 2-3 days in the refrigerator before it begins to lose its moisture.
FLAVOR: Add in ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder with the confectioners’ sugar for a chocolate flavor. You may also replace the vanilla extract with other extracts or add in liqueurs and/or spices.
