Cream Cheese Frosting
My absolute favorite! A rich and luxurious, melt-in-your-mouth frosting made with just a handful of basic ingredients. It has a delicious tang and the perfect sweet flavor. Recipe makes plenty for 12 cupcakes, see notes for amounts needed for cakes.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
The amounts listed above makes enough for 12 cupcakes. See notes for cake amounts.
2
In a mixing bowl (or in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment) cream together cream cheese and butter until smooth and slightly fluffy.
3
Add powdered sugar and vanilla and mix on low speed until combined. Then increase speed to high and whip for a few minutes until light and fluffy.
4
Transfer frosting to freezer and freeze ⏱️ 3 minutes. Remove and mix with mixer just briefly. Repeat this process up to 2 more times until frosting is more firm (not clumpy and too cold but firm enough to frost and not be running).
5
Frost cupcakes or cake and keep refrigerated.
