Cream Cheese Frosting

Homemade cream cheese frosting from scratch recipe for frosting cupcakes and cookies!

If you live in a country where cream cheese is not easily available, then this is the recipe for you! All I do is separate milk solids from milk and make a creamy & luscious frosting that no one can believe is not made from commercial cream cheese! 🙂 Oh and if you have any leftover, throw in some eggs and bake for a quick cheesecake filling!

Here’s a quick tutorial on how I like to make my Cream Cheese Frosting at home…

• 3 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vinegar or Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 2–3 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar (adjust to taste)

Instructions

1. Bring milk to a boil. Add the vinegar and let it boil for 1 minute. You’ll see the milk starts to curdle. Once the milk particles separate from the whey, switch off. Pass through a towel lined sieve to discard the water. Run the towel under water to wash off any vinegar smell from the milk particles.
2. Add it to a blender along with butter and vanilla extract. Grind / Blend for 10 seconds.
3. Add the sugar and milk and grind for 30 seconds – 1 minute till you have a smooth & creamy mixture. If you want a runny mixture, add more milk. Taste & adjust for seasoning.
4. Remove and use as required.

Tip: Advisable to use immediately. This does not taste good when refrigerated and reheated.
