Cream Cheese Buttercream Frosting
This frosting has all of the tangy flavor that you expect, but not with all of the sweetness found in traditional cream cheese frosting. It has a light and fluffy texture that is sturdy enough for piping. It’s a simple recipe that you’ll use again and again.
Ingredients
- 1 package 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup 1 stick butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3-3 1/2 cups confectioners sugar sifted
Instructions
- Using the whip attachment on your electric mixer, whip together the cream cheese, butter and vanilla until light & fluffy.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add the sugar, scraping the sides occasionally.
- Once the sugar is combined, increase the mixer speed to medium/high and continue whipping for 1-2 minutes.
