In reply to Vanessa Reaves. Hi Vanessa! This frosting has a consistency much like a normal cream cheese frosting recipe. It should hold up. Let me know how they turn out! :)

Is this frosting stuff enough to be used as a cookie sandwich filling?

Absolutely delicious! The browned butter adds so much flavour. I put it on a pumpkin cake and the leftovers will be used with cinnamon rolls.

In reply to Joel. Hi Joel! That's quite an odd experience? Did you make sure to brown your butter fully? Did you scrap in all of those delicious brown butter bits? It should have a very nice flavor and not just cream cheese. Did you make any alterations to the recipe?

This is cream cheese frosting that happens to use brown butter. You can’t taste the brown butter at all over the cream cheese.

Have been obsessed with brown butter cream cheese frosting for awhile now, but this is the first one I have found that is firm enough to be piped – love it! Paired with ganache-filled chocolate cupcakes. So. Good. Drop your old go-to frosting and make this.

In reply to Valerie D. I'm glad you enjoyed it, Valerie! You can reduce the sugar the frosting will just be less firm, and it may not hold its shape as well. :)

Perfect! I made it for a carrot cake. I will only be making my carrot cake with this icing. I used 3 1/2 cups of icing sugar. I tasted it at that point and it was sweet enough for me.

Absolutely amazing. As someone who was in the chef game for 15+ years and knows what the magic of brown butter can do, I highly recommend this recipe. It can be used as a filling or a topping on almost anything. You’ll find yourself just wanting to eat it on its own. Thrilled I found this recipe.

This is great on my butter pecan cupcakes. Using my food processor I grind about 1/3 of butter toasted pecans. They are a big hit at family gatherings. ❤️
