Butter and Cream Cheese Frosting image

I use this on cakes of all kinds. It's very simple and you can use it plain or I use Jello Gelatin powder to flavor it and color it! This always turns out great! I use it on jello poke cakes a lot and it's a great addition!

4 oz cream cheese (half of the 8 oz package) room temperature
1 stick butter,no salt, no substitutes, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
2-3 Tbsp milk
3-3 1/2 c powdered sugar
