Ingredients
Frosting Ingredients
- 1 cup softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup salted softened butter
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup mashed ripe banana
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Cheese and Butter: Beat the softened cream cheese and butter together in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Sugar and Banana: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese and butter mixture, mixing on low speed to avoid sugar clouds. Then, add the mashed ripe banana and continue mixing until the frosting achieves a creamy, fluffy texture with a consistent banana flavor.
Notes
- For best results, ensure cream cheese and butter are at room temperature to avoid lumps.
- Use ripe bananas for a sweeter and more flavorful frosting.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk to adjust the consistency.
- This frosting is best used immediately but can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Bring it back to room temperature and re-whip before using.
- Adjust powdered sugar amount to taste and desired thickness.
