I was reading a lot of recipes on the internet but I was looking for something specific. I want the cream cheese frosting to be firm enough for decorating or piping and be able to hold really long even at room temperature or even a bit warmer. The thing is, all the recipes I saw requires a lot of powdered sugar in it to make it firm. But that is where my problem lies, because I, personally, am not a big fan of frosting that is really sweet.

So I tried various measurements and see how much less I can go on with the powdered sugar but still have a cream cheese frosting that is firm enough to pipe or design and be able to hold the whole day.

      Margarine tends to leave an aftertaste so I would not recommend it.

      Hi Stella, thanks for asking. I edited the recipe to make it more clear. 2 packs of 200g or 250g tub, so 400-500grams in total. Thanks! 🙂
