Time 10m

Yield 24 cupcakes, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
8 ounces unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 vanilla bean
3 -4 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Slit vanilla bean in half and use tip of knife to scrape the vanilla bean paste from each side of vanilla bean pod.
  • Whip cream cheese in bowl until smooth.
  • Add butter and beat to combine.
  • Add vanilla extract and vanilla bean pod paste.
  • Beat in powdered sugar a little at a time until frosting is thick and as sweet as you like.
  • Katie mentioned that she only uses unsalted butter in her frostings and that she also "pipes" her frosting on cupcakes rather than spreading with a knife or spatula.
