I use to be a teachers aide. This, besides being a mom, was the best job I have ever had. So rewarding. I never wanted to call in sick or leave early. I loved working with kids. And the best part is kids are so in tune without even meaning to be. They say things that just blow me away. One day I remember we had a birthday party. I bought cupcakes for the class to celebrate (schools are super weird about baking for the students thanks to previous weirdos who have ruined it for all of us). As the kids each took their cupcake to their desk I noticed them sticking their fingers into the frosting. I smiled to myself because I too LOVE me some frosting. But guess what they did. They each set it aside on their napkins and ate the cupcakes plain! That is like cereal without milk, pasta without sauce, bread without butter. What gives??
So this will always remain a mystery to me. So on behalf of frosting lovers everywhere I insist you try out this recipe and offer it to a child (that you know, let's not make it illegal to make baked goods all together).
Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 cup white sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract ( I used 2)
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
Directions:
Step 1: combine cream cheese, sugar, salt and vanilla with whisk attachment at level 2 for 2 minutes
Step 2: In a small bowl beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form, then add to mix
Step 3: THAT'S IT!!! NOW FROST!!!
Tips:
* Better give this a taster test just in case... not sure? Taste again. And again. And again. And again.
* Frost sooner than later. Frosting tends to harden. Now you can pop it in the microwave for 15 seconds but fresh is best!
