Share:
Ingredients
- 1 to 1 1/2 packages of cream cheese ( 12 ounces)
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 3 cups icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Beat the cream cheese until smooth and light textured.
- Add in the butter and beat until it's completely combined with the cream cheese.
- Add in the first TWO cups of icing sugar, then add in another 1/4 cup at a time, TASTE TESTING until you have reached the perfect tang and sweetness for your tastes!
- Once the icing tastes perfect to you, beat in the vanilla. Frost cupcakes and cakes. This will heavily frost 15 cupcakes and (1) 8-10 inch wide 2 layer cake.
Notes
- This is such an easy recipe to adapt. I used 1 1/2 packages of cream cheese to frost red velvet cupcakes, but if you want just the slightest hint or cream cheese, simply use one 8 ounce package.
