Just like that, you have a yummy cream cheese frosting. Whether you use it on cake, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls or freeze it and eat it with a spoon. You will love this!

Ingredients

  • 1 package (8 Oz.) Cream Cheese, Softened
  • ¼ cups (half A Stick) Of Butter, Softened
  • 1 teaspoon Real Vanilla Extract
  • 16 ounces, weight Powdered Sugar (about 4 Cups)

Preparation

Beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add the sifted sugar gradually, beating until well blended after each addition.

Always keep cream cheese frosting refrigerated.

*This recipe makes enough to fill and frost two (8- or 9-inch) cake layers or the top and sides of a 13×9-inch cake.

This icing is super flavorful but not too terribly heavy. I would highly recommend it and think its a wonderful recipe in general. I don’t know that it was the best option for decorating a cookie cake, however, but regardless of what it looks like I’m sure it will taste great!

This was amazing! I used it on your carrot coconut cake. I’ll be using this recipe again for sure!
