Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 tbl unsalted butter, at room temperature
¼ cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
½ tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbl water
¾ tsp unflavored gelatin
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese with the butter at medium speed until smooth. Beat in the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice.
2. Put the water in a small heatproof bowl. Add the gelatin and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Place the bowl in a small saucepan of boiling water and stir just until the gelatin melts. Beat the gelatin mixture into the frosting and use right away.
Makes 1 1/3 cups.
