Kiwi and Cream Cheese Frosting

Ingredients

Fresh kiwis

2 large, mashed

Cream cheese

8 ounces, softened

Unsalted butter

4 tablespoons, softened

Powdered sugar

3 cups, sifted (more if needed)

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed kiwis, softened cream cheese, and softened unsalted butter.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until smooth and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition. Start with 3 cups and adjust to your desired sweetness.
4. Add the vanilla extract and continue to beat on high speed until the frosting is light, fluffy, and well incorporated, approximately 3-4 minutes.
5. Taste the frosting and adjust the sweetness by adding more powdered sugar for sweetness or more mashed kiwi for additional tanginess, if desired.
6. Use this delicious kiwi and cream cheese frosting to frost your favorite cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. It pairs beautifully with vanilla, chocolate, or even sponge cakes.
7. Store any leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before using, let it come to room temperature and re-whip to restore creaminess.
