Buttered Walnut Cream Cheese Frosting image

This is an old recipe from my MawMaw and it is just wonderful! Can't have a carrot cake or pumpkin bread without it!! It is so buttery and just dang darn-it good :) You can replace the walnuts with your choice of nuts or leave them out to make Butter Cream Cheese Frosting (Icing)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 package(s) 8 oz cream cheese
1 stick(s) salted butter
1 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
8-10 cup(s) confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup(s) chopped walnuts (or more if you like it really nutty) leave out if you want buttered cream cheese frosting

Steps:

  • This is the perfect Carrot Cake icing. I only use this one on my MawMaw Goodman's Carrot Cake (recipe posted)
  • Let cream cheese and butter get to room temperature
  • Cream butter and cream cheese together until fluffy
  • Add vanilla and beat in good
  • Add confectioners sugar 2 cups at a time beating between each addition
  • If frosting is a good thick fluffy after 8 cups finish with next step. If it is to thin keep adding confectioners sugar 2 cups at a time. I have used up to 14 cups to get it thick enough :)
  • Add walnuts and fold into frosting
  • let set at room temperature until ready to use or refrigerate for up to 7 days. If you refrigerate let frosting come to room temperature before frosting cakes.
