With only 5 ingredients, the Best Cream Cheese Frosting is minutes away. Why buy canned frosting when homemade tastes so much better!
I believe frosting can make or break a cake. If it is too sweet, it’s a deal breaker. I always try to keep a brick of cream cheese in the refrigerator so I can make this easy homemade cake frosting at a moment’s notice.
Don’t you just love having the peace of mind you get when you bake from scratch? Yes, you can buy over-the-counter canned frosting that are gluten-free (make sure you read the labels). However, these frostings also contain extra ingredients that are just not healthy for you. Ingredients such as palm oil, canola oil, monoglycerides as well as artificial flavors and colors.
It takes less than five minutes to make this creamy gluten-free frosting. It is perfect for all desserts calling for a cream cheese frosting.
