mamawrobin: do you refrigerate the cream cheese version that you use? I'm going to make some tonight, but wasn't sure if it needed refrigeration due to the cream cheese.

I'd say shortening. Some buttercreams are 1:1 sugar to fat ratio. Her recipe is more like 2:1. I'm not sure about adding more milk. icon_confused.gif I like the fact that it crust so fast.



Thanks, I will try that, I wasn't used to the quick crusting effect, I used it on cupcakes and it was too crusty the icing was crumbling, but like I said my family loved the taste, just something different for a change, they are so sick of cakes... I did go to Kroger and buy several boxes of the Whipped topping, so I can try it again too get it right!!!

No I don't. This icing has enough sugar in it that the milk and cream cheese are safe w/o refrigeration. I don't know the scientific explanation but the sugar preserves the milk/cream cheese somehow... icon_lol.gifthumbs_up.gif

Some cream cheese icings do require refrigeration but this one doesn't. I think leily also has a cream cheese icing that doesn't require refrigeration and her recipe also crust. Haven't tried it yet but it sounds good. Her recipe has more cream cheese in it than this one does. I've thought about adding more cream cheese (and reducing the Crisco a little more) to my Indydebi 'variation' but I really don't care for cream cheese and I like it just the way it is.

Thank you so much for the help. I've followed your instructions to a "T" and IndyDebbie's buttercream always comes out amazing. I'm so excited to try your cream cheese version icon_biggrin.gif .

If you find that it doesn't have enough cream cheese to your liking..you can always add more cream cheese and reduce the amount of Crisco to make up the difference. Like I said this is perfect for me because I don't like an overpowering cream cheese flavor. Hope you like it. thumbs_up.gif

Honeyscakes, this is the recipe that Mamawrobin shared. I made it tonight and it was SO good. Even my husband who hates frosting devoured it!

From Mamawrobin:

*You can use half butter and half Crisco...I don't because of the heat and humidity in my area. This icing crust very well and will smooth beautifully using the viva method.


Ingredients
1 2/3 cups Crisco
1 8 ounce box cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
4 LB. powdered sugar (SIFTED)
6 tablespoons Dream Whip
2 tablespoons vanilla (clear if you need white icing)
1 to 1 1/3 cups milk (I use half and half)
6 oz melted white chocolate
Preparation
Put Crisco and cream cheese in mixing bowl and whip for 10-15 minutes.
Add about 1 1/2 pounds of the sifted powdered sugar, about 1/2 the milk and Dream Whip and mix until blended. Incorporate the rest of the powdered sugar, another 1/2 cup milk and vanilla. Let whip for at least 20 minutes. You may need to add up to 1/3 cups more milk...maybe even more. Just have to add until it "looks right". I like my icing pretty thick (still spreadable but thick)
I have also added 6 ounces of melted white chocolate to this icing and it is really, really good. It will require more milk if you add the chocolate, just add a teaspoon at a time until it "looks right". I used the icing with white chocolate added for a red velvet cake and it was a great flavor combination.

If you have a Kroger near you go to the jello aisle, at my kroger it's at the bottom shelf..there is dream whip (2pk box) and there is Kroger's brand...it has 4 packages and is .50cents cheaper! 3tbsp is close to only 3/4 of a packet.

Just wondering, is it supposed to be 6 T of Dream Whip? In the original recipe it is 3. Just wondering. Thanks
