The way my daughter, Miriam, makes Cream Cheese frosting. Great on cinnamon rolls and carrot cake. Or with a spoon.
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 4 tbsp (1/2 stick) butter, softened
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt (if using unsalted butter)
- 0-2 tbsp milk
- Combine butter and cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer or electric mixer and beat until creamy, well-combined, and lump-free.
- Add vanilla extract and salt and stir well to combine.
- With mixer on low, gradually add powdered sugar until completely combined. Taste as you go for desired level of sweetness.
- Optional: add milk to thin it out if it needs it.
- I like to make-ahead when I make Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls, which is an overnight ferment, then an overnight proof once formed. I store in the fridge in a disposable piping bag.
