MARSHMALLOW CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Marshmallow Cream Cheese Frosting image

Not too sweet, smooth and creamy instead of grainy and sugary. This frosting firms up in the fridge and doesn't melt if left at room temperature. Bonus is that once chilled it won't stick to plastic wrap so feel free to cover it without the fear of losing all the frosting! This only takes minutes if using pre-whipped cream cheese. This recipe will cover one 13x9 sheet cake or one prepared packaged cake mix.

Categories     Dessert

Time 5m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 (12 ounce) container whipped cream cheese or 1 (8 ounce) bar cream cheese, whipped
1 (7 ounce) container marshmallow creme

Steps:

  • Combine about 1/2 the marshmallow creme with the cream cheese in a bowl; mix thoroughly with a fork (or use beaters if not using pre-whipped cream cheese).
  • Taste; continue adding remaining marshmallow creme a little at a time until the desired sweetness (we like to use about 3/4 of the jar).
  • Mix thoroughly and spread over a cooled cake.
  • Chill if desired.

MARSHMALLOW CREAM CHEESE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING



Marshmallow Cream Cheese Buttercream Frosting image

I was trying to simplify a Meringue Buttercream/Cream Cheese frosting recipe for a Carrot Cake that I make for my son's restaurant and decided to try a jar of Marshmallow Creme in place of the tedious job of making the meringue. It is wonderful and cuts the time in half. Like other Buttercreams, it doesn't hold up real well in hot weather, so you can refrigerate it.
