For Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting: Add 6 Tablespoons of your favorite cocoa powder
For Cinnamon or Spiced Cream Cheese Frosting: Add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon or other desired spice. (ie. Pumpkin spice, Apple Pie Spice)
For Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting: Add 1/2 – 1 cup of PB2 powder to the base recipe. Taste as you go to determine how much peanut butter flavor you’d like. I don’t think there is a limit honestly. Ha!
Adding fruit?: Add 1/2 cup mashed fruit or puree for every 8 oz of cream cheese. In addition to the wet fruit, you’ll need to add an additional 2 cups of powdered sugar to maintain a frosting texture. If you’re using freeze-dried fruit, add 1/4 cup of blended freeze-dried fruit. No additional sugar is needed.
Adding food coloring to cream cheese frosting: Avoid using liquid food coloring as you would need to add a lot, changing the consistency of the frosting. Use gel food coloring, adding a couple of drops of color to your chilled frosting.
