Share:
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter softened
- 3 to 3 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or lemon juice
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine cream cheese and butter with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Mix in vanilla (or lemon juice and lemon zest if using).
- Add in salt and powdered sugar a bit at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Continue beating on medium speed until fluffy. Do not overmix.
- Store up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
Notes
- *Nutrition information is for 1 tablespoon of frosting. This recipe makes about 2 ½ cups of frosting.
- Frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Let it soften at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before using.
- This frosting cannot be piped with a piping bag, it is a soft frosting.
- To avoid a runny frosting, do not overmix.
- Use a stand mixer with either a whisk attachment or a handheld mixer, scraping the sides as needed.
- To make a thicker frosting, add more powdered sugar. A thinner frosting can be made with a touch of milk or water (1 teaspoon at a time).
- Ensure baked goods are thoroughly cooled before spreading frosting to prevent it from melting.
