Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Take the cream cheese and butter out of the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for approximately 30-60 minutes. This ensures they are soft and easy to blend.
Place the softened cream cheese and butter in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat them together on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the bowl, one cup at a time. Beat on low speed at first to avoid sugar clouds, then increase the speed to medium once incorporated. Continue until all the powdered sugar is fully mixed in.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Beat again until the icing is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts. Alternatively, store the icing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Allow it to soften at room temperature before using.
