Ingredients
Ube Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½-1 cup powdered sugar adjust to taste; can swap in light or dark brown sugar too!
- 1 ½ teaspoon ube extract
- ⅓ cup heavy cream chilled; optional, if you want it fluffier!
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix softened 8 ounces cream cheese, ½-1 cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste), and 1 ½ teaspoon ube extract until fully combined.
- If you want it super light and fluffy, whip in ⅓ cup heavy cream.
Overwhipped and now the frosting is chunky? Stir in a splash of heavy cream until the frosting smooths back out!
Notes
Tip:
- Weigh your ingredients! One of my favorite kitchen tools is a kitchen scale because it’s more accurate than measuring by volume. If you use cups, spoon the sugar in gently, then level it with a knife or spatula.
- Refrigeration instructions: Store ube frosting in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Feel free to rewhip!
