 Cream Cheese Frosting is pretty quick and easy to make, add some lemon zest and fresh lemon juice for the perfect combination you will love. This is a classic recipe I've used for years. When making any batch of frosting I like to use my Bosch Universal Mixer. It whips the ingredients nicely to a nice smooth consistency which is perfect. I grew up using a Bosch and it’s my only appliance that gets permanent counter space in my kitchen. I also appreciate that the Bosch Mixer has a cover to keep ingredients inside the bowl. Powdered Sugar is light and tends to fly around when poured into the bowl. You can of course make this frosting recipe using a hand mixer without any problems. I do recommend using a large bowl.

Thank you for using my Affiliate Links where I earn a small portion of the sale. Start by squeezing juice from a lemon. You will use about 3-4 Tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice along with the zest from 1 lemon. For a more stiff buttercream use 3 Tablespoons of lemon juice, if you want to a more relaxed buttercream use 4 tablespoons lemon juice. Zesting CitrusDid you know that the zest from Citrus fruit is the outside color part and NOT the white part of the rind? Well, it’s true. So don’t get over zealous when zesting the lemon and make sure to only remove the outer yellow portion and leave the white rind behind. The inner white rind is bitter and will take away from the wonderful fragrant zest of the lemon. Softened Butter and Cream CheeseFor best results allow both butter and cream cheese to soften. I recommend letting both ingredients sit on the counter for 90 minutes. This ensures that they are easily combined with the other ingredients for a nice smooth consistency. Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting is sweet with a hint of tangy and there are so many wonderful uses. You might enjoy making my 1 Hour Cinnamon Rolls and spreading this frosting on top. It’s wonderful!

When ready to use remove from the fridge and allow to sit on the counter for at least 60-90 minutes for a more spreadable frosting. Easy Cupcake Piped FrostingPlace frosting into a gallon Ziploc bag or a Wilton Frosting Bag and snip the corner. Pipe in a swirl starting from the inside and working toward the outside for a flat snail ring of frosting. OR pipe frosting from the outside towards the center to create a peak of frosting. Sprinkles and Candy Pearls can be sprinkled on top for added decoration. Single Layer Round CakeWhen frosting cake, I find it easiest if the cake is frozen. It helps to keep the cake from breaking when a thicker frosting is being spread across the top and sides. But it’s not necessary. Using an off-set spatula spread frosting on top and sides. Cinnamon RollsSpread Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting on hot/warm Cinnamon Rolls and allow frosting to melt. Easily spread with a rubber or silicone spatula. And feel free to add Lemon Curd to the cinnamon roll before baking. It's delicious too. Garnish IdeasWhen frosting Cupcakes, Cakes, Cookies, or even Cinnamon Rolls it's a great idea to add a little garnish. Not only does it add a pop of color but flavor too. Try these ideas.
