Ingredients

1/2 stick (4 Tbsp) Salted butter (room temperature)
4 oz. Cream cheese (room temperature)
3 1/2 cups Powdered sugar
Remaining chopped peaches (from Master Cookbook Recipe # 289, well-strained)

Instructions

Cream Base: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened salted butter and room-temperature cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
Add Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar, about one cup at a time, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated and the frosting is fluffy.
Fold in Fruit: Gently fold in the chopped peaches.
CRITICAL STEP: Ensure the peaches have been strained VERY WELL. If they are too syrupy, the icing will become runny and won't hold its shape.
Frost: Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled Peaches and Cream Cake (Master Cookbook Recipe # 289).
Chill: For the best consistency and flavor, chill the finished cake in the pan before slicing and serving.
