Servings: 12
Ingredients
- Cream cheese
- 8 ounces, softened
- Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (1 stick), softened
- Powdered sugar
- 4 cups, sifted
- Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed to prevent a sugar cloud. Once incorporated, increase to medium speed and beat until well combined and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and salt, mixing until fully combined and smooth, about 1 minute more.
- Use the cream cheese frosting immediately to frost your desired cake, cupcakes, or cookies. For best results, refrigerate for 30 minutes before spreading for a thicker consistency.
- Enjoy your deliciously frosted treats!
