How to cook deliciously - Cream Cheese Frosting

1. Stage

Beat the cream cheese and butter together: Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter together until completely smooth, about 3 minutes on medium speed. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl to ensure that the mixture is mixed evenly.

2. Stage

Beat in the vanilla extract and powdered sugar: Beat in the vanilla extract. With the mixer running on low speed to start, slowly add in 2 cups of the powdered sugar. Once combined, scrape down the sides of the bowl and increase the speed to medium, beating just until well-combined and creamy. If needed, add more powdered sugar 1 tablespoon at a time to the frosting until you get your desired level of sweetness and thickness.

3. Stage

Spread or pipe the frosting to decorate: Use a blunt knife or spatula to spread the frosting, or spoon the frosting into a piping bag to decorate your cupcakes or cake. Did you enjoy this recipe? Leave us a rating and review!
