Is this even possible? I'm making a spice cake and want to fill with Cream Cheese. I'm completely obsessed with SMBC/IMBC 's texture and taste and was wondering if there's a way I could make a Cream Cheese SMBC/IMBC?

Thank You!!

Oh yeah! Love it!

After making SMBC, using a different mixer bowl, I use the paddle beater and beat the cream cheese until very smooth. You do not want it chunky. Next, scrape down the bowl. Then one big heaping spoonful at a time, I add the SMBC to the cream cheese and mix.

That is some delicious icing!

Good luck!

I don't ice with cream cheese icing, but I make a filling with it. And I absolutely leave it chunky...salty little chunks suspended in the sweet SMBC...oh it's so good. Very popular. I just warm the cream cheese until it's semi soft, take a bowl of SMBC, and cut the cream cheese into it with a pastry blender until it's chunky, but small chunks. Making some tomorrow night as a matter of fact.

Oh yes. Might not be for everyone, but I haven't met a person yet who didn't like it. Personally, I like having a little texture in fillings. Smooth creamy buttercream icing, and something with some tooth in the middle. That's how I roll!

And I'm talking very consistent little bits, like smaller than pea sized, much smaller.

This would work for me and my family!! I love little, lovely bits of cream cheese in my SMBC!! Yum!!

Unfortunately, I have had someone mention cream cheese bits in the SMBC. Since then I have tried to make sure it is smooth before mixing the two if using it for a client.
