How to Make Store-Bought Frosting Taste Homemade

You can easily elevate store-bought canned frosting to make it taste homemade with just one added ingredient.

Why We Love This Technique

1. Time-Saving Convenience – Store-bought frosting provides a quick and hassle-free solution, saving valuable time during busy baking sessions. Its ready-made ingredients eliminate the need for extensive preparation, allowing for efficient and convenient use.

2. Consistent Texture and Quality – Commercially prepared frostings often maintain a consistent texture and quality, ensuring a smooth and reliable result. This consistency can be particularly beneficial for those who may face challenges achieving the same level of perfection with homemade frostings.

3. Customizable Flavors with Ease – While store-bought frosting offers convenience, the ability to tweak and enhance its flavor allows for a personalized touch. By adding simple ingredients like extracts or spices, you can effortlessly transform the store-bought variety into a unique and delicious homemade-style creation.

2 Ingredients

• 1 can store-bought chocolate frosting
• 2 tbsp room temperature cream cheese (I recommend using the “whipped” frosting.)

Instructions

1. Using a hand-mixer or stand-mixer, whip cream cheese until smooth.
2. Add 1 can of store-bought frosting and continue to whip until fully incorporated with a smooth and creamy texture and glossy appearance.
