Soften the cream cheese at room temperature for at least 15 minutes. Do not soften in the microwave or the texture of the frosting will be runny.

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter , softened but still cool
• 4 ounces cream cheese , softened, cut into 4 pieces
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation
