Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe - How to Make Easy Cream Cheese Frosting for Cakes

[KraftyKoffee]

these came out great! I added 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar I think and added my whole tub(200g) of cream cheese for a delicious cheesy(?) flavour. That's why it's called cream cheese frosting not super sweet sugar frosting cause that happened the first time I baked red velvets. I also used the red velvet cupcakes recipe :) I love baking cupcakes and I'm 14 (13 and 2 months :p)

[GoldfishLight]

@h4h4g1rl you should add more powdered sugar and see if that helps!

[frostykittens]

@23m1 ur make no sense

[CakesByFrances]

very nice. thank u for sharing

[23m1]

uhh u stink my moms alredy made that

[humannaturedj]

@23m1 Then go ask her instead of coming to watch his video, Einstein.

[countach27]

The kabuki dancer line makes me laugh so hard, you've got some skills Chef John

[triggerhappy56]

To the person that told him that this only goes on carrot cake and never red velvet... Go die, that is all.

[asianwicked]

Powder sugar is not the same as regular sugar because it got starch mix in to the grind up sugar

[Whitepaladin818]

is powdered sugar the same as regular sugar :O? chef in training

[Multilinhlinh]

@Whitepaladin818 powdered sugar feels like flour :)

[AIDAAFQH]

7 dislikes are from 7 very, i mean, very jealous chefs :B

[Sorgutentarer]

Chef I have a question. Who records the videos, edits them? What camera is used? Thanks :)

[manuelito1233]

WHERE IS THAT CARROT CAKE VIDEO?!

[foodlovemusic]

i just made this frosting.. (and red velvet cupcakes....) and WOW!! this was the best frosting i have ever made!!! thanks chef john!! keep up the delicious work!!

[blanknot]

There's a difference between whipping and mixing. I found that out last night. Unless you want to gross out or please your perverted friends, I highly suggest using an electric mixture with the proper attachment.

[Dwergideon]

Lemon and Orange zest... would that be a bad idea?

[LuvCatz905]

Oh....I love you man...

[kevseb66]

When people say "a little" they often mean "a lot".

[mockrocker]

I'm off to sleep but I've gone ahead and watched your new videos.

I won't be surprised If I starved in my dreams. =)

[cc884u]

can you use regular granulated white sugar instead of powdered sugar?

[EmerlyLynnLuangrath]

@cc884u The texture would end up feeling really grainy.

[JiGsAwMoFo]

@cc884u No

[thelastmike]

Would be great with a really tart lime flavored version with little sugar - piped on top of the this sweeter version. So you get a sweet/sour frosting.

mmmmmmmmmmm

[TheViciousVendetta]

I made this cupcake before this cream cheese frosting recipe came on, and I had no idea how to make ANY icing recipe, so I just made a quick ganache :))) Still tasted good though. Thank you Chef John! The birthday girl and her family I gave this to were delighted. <3

[joseerocks]

Does anyone know the song playing? I've been looking for it all over the place!

[GargantuanChin]

@joseerocks I believe it's a Garagebang, pre-recorded loop.

[avivelevovii]

You are.. like.. God.

[royal552]

you do the best video's  thanks!!!!

[MegaSweetheart5]

chef john THANK YOU !!!

[kitchenfromhell]

Oh, and turn the machine off, when you scrape the sides . I just seen someone doing it with a wooden spoon and garlic butter. the mixer takes a grip on the spoon and makes sure the content wil spread evenly trough the kitchen.



[pilgrim2soldier]

My food wish right now is tres leches cake yum

[toastisgreat]

could you do a carrot cake video? that would be great!

[Tolrias]

Very good way to upset your lactose intolerant viewers =(

[MissPopeyes22]

i LOVE how you describe food as beautiful....makes me want to date it hehe

[h4h4g1rl]

my frosting is runny even after i follow this recipe... why? :(

but it taste great btw! thanks chef john!

[TheANiMeCrAzY21]

@h4h4g1rl you could add more powdered sugar.

[Erinloveable]

Make carrot cake now and use vanilla icing, that guy's head would explode lol.

[mzriley10]

I didn't realize the powdered sugar could be adjusted. I always had a set recipe. I'm gonna tinker with it now. Thanks for sharing those little tips with us groupies.

[ashesfrombones]

COOK that person who told u that this cream cheese frosting only goes with carrot cake

[IFknHateUTube]

I used to work at a bakery and one of the cooks got fired for putting semen in the frosting

[tomeka1971]

MMmmm looks so good!

[KaikipBT7]

Chef John: Spread it on stuff, carrot cake, red velvet cupcakes..

Me: All over your face and eat it by itself like the fatty I am... mmm..

[an50331]

this guys got a cult following

[Notmytoe]

i'm drooling.

[Damuzikal1]

Cream cheese frosting doesn't belong on red velvet?!?!?!?!? What world are they living in? OF COURSE IT DOES!!!!

[mr13579100]

i prefer my cream cheese frosting on a spoon. who agrees??!! :D

THUMBS UP??!!

[NiamhElspeth]

Who was this person Chef John we will have them hunted down and killed :P

[dehbee]

"doesnt be long on red velvet"....who the hell said that?!?!?!?

[springz2000]

Mmmmmmm!!! My favorite!

[jbsafaggot]

so can i just spread this all over my tongue? cause that sounds just as good as on a cupcake

[steelaxe12]

I dont always watch Chef John's videos to learn how to cook a certain dish, i just like the commentary's :D

[bluetextonwhitebg]

Don't waste your money buying powdered sugar either! Take regular, white confectioner's sugar, spin it around the coffee grinder for about 5 seconds...voila! Powdered sugar! :)

[AllieMcKeen]

@bluetextonwhitebg Aren't powdered sugar, confectioner's sugar, and icing sugar all the same thing?

[ggglllllll]

@AllieMcKeen I believe he/she meant granulated sugar :)

[imabakajustlikeyou]

@AllieMcKeen Yup they are xD

[bluetextonwhitebg]

@AllieMcKeen D'oh! You caught me. That was a mistype. In lieu of "confectioner's", what I MEANT to say was granulated sugar. :-P

[MrSkinnyBill]

@skittles0567 poker face ^^

[bernie661]

DEAR CHEF JOHN,

CAN YOU MAKE A VIDEO OF TIRAMISU?

I put all of that in caps locks to see if you would read it lol please chef John I want to learn your way of making this awesome recipe PLEASE!!!!!!!!

I always wanted to learn how to cook this in many ways but I rather learn it your way.

Thumbs up if you agree fellow youtubers.

[neriox8420]

Chef John,, WHY did you make us subscribe to allrecipes??? WORST CHANNEL EVER. Please disassociate with them!

[MrSkinnyBill]

@neriox8420 He never made you, he just recommended it. He probably gets money from being part of them so leave him alone :)

[OrquideaFeroz]

I love chef John.

His food always looks delicious and he has such a cute sense of humor

[LaGitana87]

If you make this with brown sugar it tastes a bit like butterscotch frosting. Sort of.

[piprod01]

@LaGitana87

And grit?

[LaGitana87]

@piprod01 It's not as gritty as you would imagine, it dissolves well.

[aclassgnar]

chef john my mom makes a better cream cheese frosting

[stooge81]

if only my girlfriend in high school had been this easy to make.

[vicki1818]

@stooge81 You made your high school girlfriend ?

[BoogieWithStew]

Julia Child would have used a piping bag. I'm just sayin'

[JesseMChalmers]

@BoogieWithStew Thats because she was a spy. Just sayin'

[BoogieWithStew]

@JesseMChalmers A researcher, it seems:

ABC News

...she became a top secret researcher for the director of the OSS [forerunner of today's CIA], the legendary William "Wild Bill" Donovan. And, later, she worked to reduce the threat of U-boats, the deadly Nazi submarines.

After the war, she received an award for her service, which cited her many virtues, including her "drive and inherent cheerfulness."

[Zed1967]

What do you mean this recipe is not one of my 5 a day?

Apparently beer isn't either.

[SerenityM16]

Pumpkin Cupcakes :)

[MistressDracona]

This is my favorite type of frosting *drools*

[mzonse]

oh, is it possible to make the frosting lighter or liquids are out of the question? =/

[mzonse]

bizarrely, I would stare at the whisk and follow it with my head turning as well. 8-}

[omisuookami]

i love the way you say ' and as always Enjoy' in the end of every episode chef john:)

[skim319]

Chef John, can you do earl grey or lavender macarons?? :D

[skittles0567]

@MrSkinnyBill they were half cups smarty

[mileyniley1]

CAN YOU MAKE CARROT CAKE?

[TheRabidPosum]

@mileyniley1 CARROT CAKE IS MY ALL TIME FAVE!!!!

[ElectriChapel]

I made some this weekend... I'm gonna eat one right now :P 

[hatabachit]

Such a shame that YouTube will only let me "Like" this once...

[ffOSTnerd217]

There's a person that told me this only goes on carrot cake, and never red velvet cupcakes... uh, I don't think so. XD

i put cream cheese frosting on almost any cake! who cares... thank you for this!!

[TheVittleVlog]

Gottta love it!!

[DMRogers63]

Chef John, I'm so glad that I found your videos,you are amazing. I can't wait to try your recipes,and I find you have a good sense of humor.

[Uberubert99]

This video made me happy :)

[nicholassan]

CHEF JOHN, you should make a carrot care video, either muffin like the red velvet or a whole cake :D

[tattooyu]

I think a smattering of grated candied orange on top would be awesome. Ohhh yeeeeaaahhhh.

[bgctrinity]

People who say cream cheese frosting is only for carrot cake, should know that there is a layer of hell just for them.

[deglazed91]

Chef John: Hello this is Chef John from fooood wishes dot com wiiiiiiith

Me: YAY!!!!

[bobonowski1]

gingers have no soul

[marboeus]

[xxdjcharlierockxx]

[kerberos623]

My foodwish is for a Vegan recipe. I'm not vegan, but my Wife is. I would really like a good vegan recipe that I can surprise her with. thank you.

[Skullchaser08]

@kerberos623 Take grass, salt and pepper to taste.

Voilà.

[iameattingacookie]

...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm frosting =D

[pansyed]

powdered sugar is actually not that sweet compared to sugar grains, like thr was this time i poured sugar out from a container in a steady stream for like 8 seconds and it still didnt taste as sweet as 2 heaping teaspoon of sugar, no it wasnt even close...

[Tru3W4rrior20]

fukin hell, this sugar can not be good for your health

[Ayoobmarafie]

@foodwishes What should i do when it's raining ?

[fegolem]

Care to show us some of your cooking or video fails? C'mon. :}

[Jack005500]

@fegolem

You're Implying Chef John actually makes mistakes.

[Gbral]

My foodwish is Quiche Lorraine. C'mon John, I know you love it too.

[xKaoKaox]

instead of the traditional "top the cupcake with red velvet cake crumbs" you should sprinkle some cayanne on there. food wish nation loves that apparently

[mayagornhisoka29]

@xKaoKaox LOL

[dd08880bb]

It's so fluffy I'm gonna die!!! XD :D

[baa00000]

show us how to make lasagna!!!

[saff3356]

@baa00000 he did show us

[baa00000]

@saff3356 ohh I guess I skipped over that vid...Thanks for telling me.

[NoobsyPoopsy]

I don't like frosting. And I don't understand why americans like it so much. I prefere using yoghurt with fruits or whipped cream for my cupcakes. I tastes so much better. Frosting is too fat and too sweet and always tastes the same.

[kookai121]

chef john, please make a pasta video, i beg you, anythingg just make it delicious!

[HyperSensitive88]

my frosting is lumpy with small chunks of powdered sugar . how do i fix that?

[TheCraphater]

@HyperSensitive88 use confectionary sugar!next time

[DametjeKelly]

@HyperSensitive88 That happens to me too when I try to make the frosting. That's why I was so excited to see this video. I was hoping I would see what I was doing wrong.

[georgiafbi]

I think you should show your pastry side, Chef John. I know you said you don't like sweets as much, but I want to see your skills!

[georgiafbi]

I love Carrot Cake!

[calebthellama]

can I substitute the cream cheese with salsa?

[AlanTransformer]

cayenne? 

[kidego3kgt]

I love butter rum flavoring or cinnamon in this kind of icing.
