Cream Cheese Frosting

[MrsM]

Looking for a tried and true cream cheese frosting that is not too sweet for a coconut cake. Thanks!

Bruno Albouze has an easy cream cheese icing recipe with his vegan carrot cake recipe. Brunoalbouze.com

I totally get the struggle of finding a cream cheese frosting that isn't overly sweet! A great recipe to try is one that uses a balanced ratio of cream cheese and butter. For a less sweet version, you can use 8 oz of cream cheese, 4 oz of unsalted butter, and just 1 to 1.5 cups of powdered sugar. You can also add a splash of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors without adding extra sweetness. This should pair beautifully with your coconut cake! Let me know how it turns out!
