Add to Shopping List

Instructions

  1. Using an electric mixer, mix the butter and cream cheese, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will take about 3 minutes.
  2. With the mixer on low speed, add the powdered sugar, 1/2 a cup at a time, until it is thoroughly mixed.
  3. Add the vanilla and beat the frosting on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
  4. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • *I use the beater blade for beating together the cream cheese and butter, then switch to the whisk to beat in the powdered sugar. The whisk generally gives you a fluffier frosting.
  • *Want your frosting even fluffier? Beat for an additional 2 minutes.
