Tomato cream cheese frosting is sweet. You might not even know that the tomato frosting has tomato in it until the aftertaste hits you - then, you'll know for sure. If you doubt that it could be good, I'll give you brief preview of my next post: this tomato frosting topped first prize winner cupcakes! Details on that cupcake and my first ever baking trophy are coming soon!!
The Tomato Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe
- ¼ C butter, room temperature
- 8 oz package of cream cheese, room temperature
- 3 C powdered sugar
- 2 T tomato paste (I used extra-concentrated tomato paste to keep the frosting from getting too moist and runny)
- ½ t vanilla extract
- Mix butter and cream cheese until smooth.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar. Add more or less to make it as stiff as you like.
- Mix in the tomato paste and vanilla extract.
I think it sounds great! I've heard of tomato soft serve being sold in Japan and I've always wanted to try it! And in Korea they treat tomatoes as a sweet fruit and even sprinkle sugar on them.
ReplyDeleteYum, I am intrigued.
ReplyDeleteRachel - We has a tomato sorbet recently that was amazing.
