Cream Cheese Royal Icing Recipe
How to make cream cheese flavored royal icing that dries firm to the touch. Cream cheese royal icing is a great addition to Red Velvet Sugar Cookies (recipe) or Pumpkin Spice Sugar Cookies. Remember - if you're incorporating extra fat, such as real cream cheese, into a recipe, it will affect the hardness. This icing will dry firm to the touch but will not be as hard as a traditional royal icing.
Tips for cream cheese royal icing:
The technique and order in which you add the ingredients matters. Read through the recipe first and follow step-by-step.
It's not as firm as classic royal icing, but will work great for flooding, lines, and decoration. It will be hard to get a star tip to keep its shape with this icing, but with the right approach you can decorate a full cookie.
To soften your cream cheese. Use a brick of full-fat cream cheese, not whipped cream cheese. To soften, unwrap the cheese and place on a microwave safe plate. Microwave on medium for 10 seconds. The cheese should be soft but not melted. Repeat once more if necessary. Do not cook the cheese!
