This is an old recipe from my MawMaw and it is just wonderful! Can't have a carrot cake or pumpkin bread without it!! It is so buttery and just dang darn-it good :) You can replace the walnuts with your choice of nuts or leave them out to make Butter Cream Cheese Frosting (Icing)

How To Make buttered walnut cream cheese frosting

Step 1

This is the perfect Carrot Cake icing. I only use this one on my MawMaw Goodman's Carrot Cake (recipe posted)

Step 2

Let cream cheese and butter get to room temperature
Step 3

Cream butter and cream cheese together until fluffy
Step 4

Add vanilla and beat in good
Step 5

Add confectioners sugar 2 cups at a time beating between each addition
Step 6

If frosting is a good thick fluffy after 8 cups finish with next step. If it is to thin keep adding confectioners sugar 2 cups at a time. I have used up to 14 cups to get it thick enough :)
Step 7

Add walnuts and fold into frosting
Step 8

let set at room temperature until ready to use or refrigerate for up to 7 days. If you refrigerate let frosting come to room temperature before frosting cakes.
