I blogged about this ohhh- years ago, and reading that blog I was reminded about how great crushed raspberry cream cheese frosting could be – but the blog was back in the day where I didn’t share recipes. Not even, it would seem with myself. But this is the frosting on Cakeophilia’s banner, and it seems sad not to have a recipe for it!
Cakeophilia Frosting
“Cakeophilia” (Raspberry Cream Cheese) Frosting
makes enough for a 20cm cake – topping and filling, but not sides
ingredients
125g unsalted butter, softened
125 g cream cheese, such as Philadelphia (cold, cut into 2cm cubes)
250g icing sugar
1 cup frozen raspberries (fresh won’t work!)
mixing
Beat the butter until smooth, and add the cold cream cheese. Beat well – it will never be completely smooth. Add the icing sugar and beat until well combined (there will still be flecks of cream cheese in there – that’s what you want!). Add the frozen raspberries, and mix until evenly distributed. The frosting will seize a bit because of the cold, so let it come to room temperature before your final few mixing strokes and putting it on cake!
