You can color your frosting by adding several drops of food coloring. After each addition of food coloring, stir the frosting until the desired color is achieved.

How To Make cream cheese cool whip frosting

• 1

  DO NOT make this frosting till you are ready to use it. It sets up quickly. In large mixing bowel using wooden spoon, NO MIXER, Mix cream cheese and sugar together till smooth.

• 2

  Add cool whip and gently fold mixture together. Caution not to stir it will cause cool whit to loose fluffiness.

  My favorite icing. Have everyone wanting the recipe. I have used it for cupcakes in the past and today I'll try it on cake. What I do differently is mix the sugar with the cream cheese first and then slowly add it to the cool whip so the cool whip doesn't go flat. This should be made shortly before it is served because it does go flat and forms a rubber-like surface by the next day. Great for coloring, and super fluffy-whipped

  Amazing! I used this in a three-layer yellow cake with strawberry filling. I spread this frosting along with the strawberry filling on each layer, then frosted the entire cake. I added 1/2 teaspoon vanilla to this and used lite Cool Whip and cream cheese. My boyfriend raved about the cake and ate two slices in one sitting! I wish I made more frosting for my leftover strawberries so I had something exquisite to dip them in. Thanks for a keeper!

  I just made this and it turned out wonderful. I am a little worried though because I made it today which is Wednesday, so I could use it on my fourth of July cake. I wanted to save time on the fourth. Now I am worried about it getting rubbery like someone said below. Do you think it will be alright for my cake kept that long or should I remake it on the fourth?

  I eat Cool Whip like a snack, so adding cream cheese is a big plus for me. However, my husband does not share the same taste BUT he loved this frosting and asked where I bought it! (and I'll never tell) This frosting was simple, quick, and easy. This will be 'my secret' frosting and definitely a keeper! Be sure the cream cheese is soft so it blends well with the sugar and when the Cool Whip is folded in. If I could give this 10 stars I would! For me, this is THE perfect frosting!

  What happens when you mix Cool Whip and powdered sugar?

  3 – Add Powdered Sugar and Cornstarch to Cool Whip Not only will adding powdered sugar and cornstarch to your Cool Whip make your frosting thicker, but it will also make it sweeter. If you don't want all the sweetness, you can use cornstarch alone.

  Does powdered sugar thicken cream cheese frosting?

  It can be made thick and light by increasing the powdered sugar, but at the cost of its flavor and texture, as the excess sugar makes it unbearably sweet and a little gritty, too.

  Can you use just Cool Whip for frosting?

  One of my favorite ways to use it is to create frosting with Cool Whip from scratch. It's sweet and creamy and is such a good way to decorate sheet cakes.

  How do you thicken cream cheese whipped cream frosting?

  How do you thicken cream cheese frosting? The best way to thicken cream cheese frosting is to refrigerate it for 5-10 minutes. As the butter cools, it'll help firm up the frosting. You can also add meringue powder to thicken the frosting and keep it stable.
