I'm someone who does not like my frosting to be overly sweet; this recipe yields a tangy and rich cream cheese frosting that is sure to please!
Ingredients
  • One package (240 g) softened cream cheese cut into cubes
  • ¼ cup softened butter cut into cubes
  • ½-1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sifted powdered sugar
Instructions
  1. In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until it is smooth, about 1 minutes
  2. Next, add the vanilla and slowly incorporate the powdered sugar into the mix, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl frequently to prevent lumps.
  3. Once the frosting is smooth and all the sugar is incorporated into it, taste and adjust, then frost your dessert! (or eat it plain with a spoon).
Notes
If you desire a runnier texture, add heavy cream or half and half, one teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Can frost about 12 cupcakes
