Is it okay to use whipped cream cheese for cream cheese frosting?

I need to make cream cheese frosting but all I have is the whipped kind. Will that work? Also if you have a good recipe for frosting, that would be awesome. Thanks!Is it okay to use whipped cream cheese for cream cheese frosting?
You will be fine -





Whipped cream cheese or butter is meant to be lighter. You will usually use a lesser amount because of the air whipped into it, thus making it lower in fat and calories - not by much, but slightly. Your frosting will still come out nice and rich, but may be more ';airy';. Now, if you have a low fat or no fat cream cheese, the consistency may be altered.

We make cream cheese frosting in 90 pound batches at work.


Cream butter, cream cheese vanilla and powdered sugar and a little milk together til creamy. Your going to whip the cream cheese anyway so it won't make a bit of difference than non-whipped cream cheese.
It should be okay. Do a small test patch.
