Cream Cheese Frosting
There’s so much you can do with the traditional, deliciously simple cream cheese frosting. You can spread it on top of different type of cakes (especially the spiced ones), on cookies or between them.
It is also one of the most popular cupcakes frosting. You can flavour the cheese frosting by adding some fruity puree – smooth strawberry puree, for example. Simply process the strawberries in a food processor, then sieve it. Add the smooth strawberry puree to the frosting, to taste. Leftovers and seeds can be kept for other desserts, yogurts or smoothies.
