Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting is a unique twist on a classic frosting that combines the tang of cream cheese with the flavor of cookie dough. Yum, yum!
We went into the Two Sisters Frosting Test Kitchen and came out with a winner! We combined our Best Cookie Dough Frosting with our Best Cream Cheese Frosting and boy oh boy do we love it. The creamy tanginess of the cream cheese combines with the sweet rich texture of the brown sugar into one yummy frosting. Add our Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting to your must-make list … you won't be sorry.
To make this yummy Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting, add 8 oz of softened Cream Cheese and 1/2 cup of softened butter to the mixer. Then add 2-3 teaspoons of vanilla. I start with 2 teaspoons now and then add more at the end if I think I need it.
Mix the Cream Cheese, Butter and Vanilla just until it is fully incorporated. Then add the brown sugar and mix thoroughly. The brown sugar does add crystal like texture to this frosting. The frosting is definitely more like cookie dough then a regular frosting but it is a pleasing taste.
Finally, add the powdered sugar to the bowl.
Start your mixer (or electric beater) on the lowest setting. I usually put a clean dishtowel around my mixer to keep the sugar from flying out. Keep on low until the butter and sugar are incorporated and then kick your mixer up to medium high.
That's all there is to making Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting. Now you just have to starting thinking of something yummy to put it on.
How much frosting will you need?That always depends on how thick or thin you apply the frosting or how much decorating you do but here are a couple of guidelines. Our recipe should make enough Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting to cover a 9″ x 13″ sheet cake or a two-layer 8″ cake.If you are making cupcakes, you should be able to frost 24 cupcakes if you apply the frosting with a knife.If you swirl on the frosting with a pastry bag you should be able to frost 15-18 cupcakes depending on the size of the swirl.
Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting truly is a yummy version of this classic frosting … it will make everything you put it on taste better. And if you need some ideas you can try our Banana Cookies with Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting.
