Ingredients:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Ensure cream cheese and butter are at room temperature.
  2. Cream Together: In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add Sugar: Gradually add sifted powdered sugar, mixing on low speed to prevent dust clouds, until fully incorporated.
  4. Incorporate Flavor: Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt; mix until smooth and fluffy.

  6. Taste and Adjust: Taste the frosting and adjust vanilla or salt according to preference.
