Are you looking for a pipe-able cream cheese frosting? This recipe uses real butter for amazing flavor and meringue powder for stability.

I’m not a fan of crisco or any other shortening in my frosting. I understand that shortening is a good stabilizer for piping with. Since I love the superior flavor of butter and cream cheese together, I experimented with this recipe for a mother’s day cake I made that uses meringue powder as the stabilizer and crusts very well. The resulting flavor of real butter and cream cheese was amazing and the meringue powder made it so versatile to pipe with.
