Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar*
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • You can make this frosting with a hand mixer or stand mixer, in a food processor, or by hand with a whisk in a mixing bowl (don't skimp on the size).
  • To start, combine the cream cheese and butter. Beat the cream cheese and butter together until they are fully blended.
