Sometimes you just don’t have time to make your own frosting and that’s okay. We all need a shortcut and time saver once in a while, but we just don’t want anyone to know about it. When it comes to canned frosting, it tastes like it was mass-produced, but it can taste homemade with a few small changes. Here is how you can make your store-bought frosting taste like it was made in your own kitchen.
Whip it
Homemade frosting tends to be lighter and airier in comparison to canned. So all you need to do is put the canned frosting in a bowl and with a hand mixer whip it until it is the consistency you want.
Add Some Cream
Fold in some freshly whipped cream for an even lighter texture or some cream cheese to make it creamier. If you love buttercream frosting then just add a few tablespoons of soft butter to the canned stuff and you wouldn’t ever know you didn’t make it from scratch. The fat from the dairy will also dilute the sweetness of the canned frosting.
Change Up the Flavor
You can add anything to the frosting to change up the flavor, peanut butter, jam, Nutella, if you are a chocolate lover, cookie butter, or if you like something tangier then add some lemon curd. You can go with some caffeine and mix in some freshly brewed coffee or add some alcohol into the mix with Kahlua or Amaretto.
Crunchy Toppings
Instead of changing the flavor, you can always add some crunchy elements like toasted nuts, chocolate chips, toffee, or some fresh fruit. You can add in anything you want to make it your own, play around be adventurous, and enjoy it.
