Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

This is my favorite standard Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe. I use this recipe as the basis for many frostings and then adjust the consistency and flavorings I add depending on what I am making.  For example, I add pecans to the recipe when I make my delicious carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. 

Ingredients:

8 ounce packaged softened cream cheese
1/2 cup softened butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups confectioners sugar

Directions:

1. Combine the softened cream cheese and softened butter together. Use an electric mixer on low speed until well combined.
2. Mix in the vanilla extract using the electric mixer on low speed.  Make sure it is well combined.
3. With the mixer at low speed gradually add the sugar.  You can adjust the quantity added to adjust the consistency and taste but keep in mind that the tangy taste of the cream cheese might be masked by the sweetness of the sugar so make sure you taste along the way.
4. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth.

This Cream Cheese Frosting recipe is so simple and quick to make and it tastes so delicious.
