Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe
Ingredients:
- 8 oz (1 block) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons milk (if needed for consistency)
Directions:
- Beat cream cheese and butter together in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, and mix until fully incorporated.
- Mix in vanilla extract and beat until light and fluffy.
- If the frosting is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
- Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
