Some Common Questions Asked About This Recipe-

  • Full-fat cream cheese works the best. Otherwise, if you use low-fat or fat-free, it will not stick together.
  • I use unsalted butter since I do not like the icing saltiness; if you taste it and want to add a dash of salt, that is fine.
  • Room temperature always works better for frosting since it allows the butter and cream cheese to blend more easily.
