CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Cream Cheese Frosting image

I love cream cheese frosting. I make a carrot, red velvet, Italian creme, and any kind flavor of cake. It is so easy and simple to make a frosting. It is so delicious and sweet.

Ingredients

1/2 cup(s) butter, slightly softened
1 - (8 oz) package of cream cheese, softened, regular or light but not fat free
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
3/4 to1 pound(s) powdered sugar, sifted ( i don't use a whole lb. usually about ¾ or more just add till consistency and taste are right)

Steps:

In a large bowl combine butter, Cream cheese and vanilla and beat until completely incorporated and smooth. I like to use my stand mixer but any mixer will do. This can also be done by hand but be very vigorous and take the time to get the nice, light loftiness that makes this frosting great. Add sifted powdered sugar a cup or so at a time and beat vigorously until smooth. You don't have to sift the sugar if it is powdery and not clumping. It is usually fine here in dry Colorado. I don't use a whole lb. usually about ¾ of a pound, just add till consistency and taste are right, It is best to refrigerate a bit. If it is too thick when it comes time to spread, add a little bit of milk.
