Ingredients
  • 8 ounces (1 package) cream cheese, cold
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (or ½ teaspoon if not using vanilla bean)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups whipping cream (1 pint)
  • 1 Tablespoon orange blossom water
  • 3-4 drops red food coloring
Instructions
  1. Chill the metal bowl of your stand mixer in the refrigerator.
  2. Fit the stand mixer with the paddle, beat the cold cream cheese on medium until completely smooth (this is why you need to use the paddle not the whisk).
  3. Add sugar, vanilla and salt and continue beating until smooth and lighter.
  4. Scrape down the sides and fit the mixer with the whisk.
  5. Run mixer on low speed and slowly pour the cold whipping cream into the bowl, going slowly and allowing the cream the incorporate into the cream cheese mixture.
  6. Add orange blossom water and food coloring.
  7. Once fully incorporated, increase speed to medium-high and whip until stiff peaks form (usually a few minutes), stopping to scrape down the sides when necessary.
  8. Frosting cupcakes or cake immediately. Frosting is best when refrigerated. So YUM!!
  9. ENJOY!!!
