Baking
Orange Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients
- or 30+ cupcakes
- 100 gr. (3½ oz.) full fat Mascarpone cheese
- 50 gr. (2 oz.) butter, softened
- 50 gr. (2 oz.) icing sugar
- Zest of ½ orange
- ½ tsp. orange juice
- This really does taste lovely with carrot cake…… I tried Philadelphia cream cheese, but think Mascarpone is so much lighter. Make sure it is full fat, otherwise it will be watery.
Method
1
Take the butter out of the fridge and leave to soften for an hour or so.
2
Sift the icing sugar into a large mixing bowl. Add the orange zest and ½ tsp. orange juice. (I used a parer to grate the peel as it makes nice strands, then I chopped them into smaller pieces).
3
Place the Mascarpone cheese and the softened butter on top.
4
Use a large metal spoon to press and gently mix all the ingredients together, until the icing sugar has been fully incorporated. (This way you prevent being covered in a dusting of icing sugar!)
5
Now use a hand mixer to beat it well, until fluffy and soft.
6
Can be used as a topping or a filling.
