Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened
- 12 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 6 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Use an electric mixer to beat the butter and cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy. Add lemon and lime zest and beat until it is incorporated. Add powdered sugar, a cup at a time until it is smooth. Add the lemon and lime juice and beat until light and fluffy. If it is too runny, add a little more powdered sugar. Refrigerate for a few minutes if piping.
Notes
- Lemon Lime frosting will last in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let it thaw in the fridge overnight before piping onto your favorite cakes. You may need to whip it to regain that same creamy texture.
- This will frost a 3 layer cake or 18 cupcakes.
