– Measuring cups and spoons
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, gather all your ingredients and let your cream cheese soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes. I find that this step is crucial because it makes mixing much easier and results in a creamy filling. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it’s nice and smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and lemonade concentrate, mixing well after each addition. You’ll notice the tanginess of the lemonade filling the air as you whip it! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
