Ingredients
Frosting Ingredients
- 1 cup softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup salted softened butter
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup mashed ripe banana
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and salted butter together until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This ensures a creamy texture for the frosting.
- Add Sweetness and Flavor: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese and butter mixture, mixing continuously to avoid lumps and achieve a fluffy consistency.
- Incorporate Banana: Once the powdered sugar is fully mixed in, add the mashed ripe banana and beat the frosting until creamy and fluffy. The banana adds natural sweetness and a mild fruity flavor.
Notes
- Ensure both cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for easy mixing and smooth texture.
- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor intensity.
- If frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or cream to adjust the consistency.
- This frosting is best used immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; bring it to room temperature and re-whip before using.
