Tips

• For a firmer frosting refrigerate for ten minutes before piping.
• If it becomes too soft add one to two tablespoons extra icing sugar.
• Use block cream cheese only. Spreadable tubs will make it runny.

Storage

Store in the fridge for up to three days. Bring to room temperature before using so it becomes soft and spreadable.
