Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese full-fat, block-style, softened slightly
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
- 4 cups powdered sugar more for a stiffer frosting, sifted if lumpy
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and mix until smooth, stopping and scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed. For a stiffer frosting, beat in additional powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency. Taste and adjust, adding a pinch of salt if needed.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
