If you’re looking for a creamy, dreamy frosting, then the Cream Cheese Icing (Mrs. Echard Icing) is the perfect choice. The icing is not only simple to prepare but also adds a delightful touch to your cakes, making them irresistible to friends and family alike.
When it comes to cream cheese icing, quality ingredients can make all the difference. For the cream cheese, opt for a full-fat variety for the richest flavor. If you’re looking for a lower-fat option, Neufchâtel cheese works well, though it may slightly alter the texture. For those with dairy allergies, consider vegan cream cheese, which can provide a similar consistency. Always remember to check labels, particularly for the Cool Whip, to ensure it meets your dietary needs.

Cream Cheese Icing (Mrs. Echard Icing) Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 12 ounces Cool Whip
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 3 cups of powdered sugar. Beat with a mixer until the mixture is well blended and smooth.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 12 ounces of Cool Whip to the bowl. Mix until everything is thoroughly combined and creamy.
- Once mixed, remember that the icing must be refrigerated until you’re ready to serve. It’s best kept cool, except when it’s being enjoyed, of course.
- The icing is perfect for frosting one triple-layer cake or two smaller cakes. When using it to frost layers, ice just the top of the layers and allow the icing to ooze down the sides for an appealing look.
- The icing is super easy to transport and attractive enough to take to gatherings, making it a great choice for parties.
