|
Bitsyskitchen / All my dishes 1 year, 5 months ago
A basic cream cheese frosting but it frosts nicely and pipes well too. For the 4 layer carrot cake recipe I use 1+1/2 recipes of this frosting.

I'd never heard of using "cold" cream cheese frosting. I have a recipe my mom gave me for pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting, but it calls for it to be room temp. Isn't it tough to mix with it being cold? I'm not that much of a baker, I'm more of a cooker (dinner that is) It sounds interesting to try and I have all the ingredients to do it.

Hi! I hadnt either but it does make a difference. It keeps it from being too soft for spreading and piping otherwise.

Hi! Love the idea of using the "cold" cream cheese. I have done a carrot wedding cake before and had to use butter cream for fear it would "melt" if I used cream cheese. How long can this icing stay out at room temperature? Have you tried "stabilizing" with meringue powder? Did it make a difference? Thanks!!!!!

Hi, You know I'm not sure how long it could stay out as Ive always just cut a slice off and then put back the rest in the fridge. But I would say at least an hour??... Depending on the temp. of course. I havent tried the meringue powder with cream cheese yet. That is a great idea. I have used it with my chocolate frosting though..
