Cream Cheese Buttercream
This buttercream is tangy and dense making it a great choice for offsetting sweeter desserts.
Ingredients
- oz package cream cheese (room temperature)
- cup Vital Farms Unsalted Butter (room temperature)
- cups powdered sugar
- pinch of kosher salt
- teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Add the cream cheese and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium-high until fluffy, about 30 seconds.
Scrape down the sides and add in the powdered sugar slowly with the speed on low. Gradually increase speed to medium-high after all the sugar is incorporated. Whip for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Turn speed down to medium and stream in the vanilla and heavy cream. Sprinkle in the salt. Turn the speed back up to medium-high and whip for another minute, until very light in color and texture.
