Instructions

1-First, make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature for the best mix.

2-Begin by combining the softened cream cheese and mashed ripe bananas in a bowl, blending until smooth. This step is crucial for that creamy texture we all love in banana cream cheese frosting.

3-Next, slowly add the sifted powdered sugar while mixing on low speed to prevent a mess.

4-Gradually incorporate the unsalted butter, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, blending everything until it’s fluffy and well combined.

5-Take a moment to taste and adjust if needed it’s all about making it your own.

6-Once mixed, chill the frosting in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm it up, making it easier to spread.

7-For dietary tweaks, like using vegan alternatives, swap them in at the beginning.
