❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting
1. Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh?
Fresh lemon juice gives the best flavor. Bottled juice can work but it may taste less bright and fresh.
2. How do I store leftover frosting?
Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Let it come to room temperature and beat again before using.
3. Can I freeze this frosting?
Yes you can freeze it for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight then beat until smooth.
4. Why is my frosting runny?
Runny frosting usually means the cream cheese or butter was too soft. Try chilling it for 15 minutes or add more powdered sugar a little at a time.
5. Can I make this dairy free?
Use dairy free cream cheese and butter substitutes. The texture may be slightly different but it will still taste good.
