Question

Love that can make cream cheese flavored frosting without cream cheese. Can you use cream cheese emulsion instead of icing flavor?

Question
May 27, 2021
Can this frosting be frozen? If so, for how long?

Lorann's Response: Hi, Pattie. You can typically freeze a butter based frosting in an airtight container or freezer bag. It will generally last for up to 3 months if it is properly sealed.

This is my go to recipe when I need a cream cheese frosting as no refrigeration is necessary. Also lower on calories than using cream cheese. Very good consitency for flowers and borders. Thank you LorAnn for developing these great flavor emulsions.
