Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting

By Gigirox

Ingredients

• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 to 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Electric Mixer Method
Have the cream cheese cold and the butter at room temperature. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until blended. Add sugar one-third at a time and beat just until smooth and the desired consistency. If frosting is too stiff, beat for few seconds longer. Do not overbeat. If desired, stir in additional flavoring to taste. This keeps, refrigerated, for about 1 week. Or freeze for up to 3 months. Soften and stir until smooth before using.
