Allspice Cream Cheese Frosting

The magic of allspice! In this delectable frosting, warm allspice spice meets tangy cream cheese, creating a unique flavor experience that’s both intriguing and irresistible. With a silky smooth texture and just the right balance of sweet and savory, this frosting is the perfect crowning glory for your favorite cakes and cookies.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until it’s light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating well after each addition.

Beat in the softened cream cheese until well combined and smooth.

Beat in the vanilla extract, ground allspice, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Continue beating until the frosting is light, fluffy, and smooth.

Use immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Bring to room temperature before using.

Notes

Make sure to use room temperature butter and cream cheese for the creamiest frosting. If your butter is still a bit cold, you can soften it in the microwave in 10-second increments, checking until it’s perfect.

Don’t overbeat the frosting, as it can become too light and airy.

If you’re not using the frosting immediately, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent air from reaching it. This frosting is perfect for topping cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, and pairs especially well with autumn and winter flavors.

If you’re new to working with cream cheese frosting, don’t worry if it’s a bit too thin – it will firm up in the refrigerator.
