Cream Cheese Frosting
- 6 tbsp salted butter 3/4 stick, softened
- 8 oz Cream Cheese cold
- 5-6 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract clear
- Cream butter and cream cheese in a stand mixer (at least 4 minutes).
- Add about 2 c. powdered sugar until smooth.
- Add vanilla, mix well.
- Add remaining powdered sugar to desired consistency. Mix on med high until smooth and puffy (approx 6 minutes).
- Add milk to desired consistency and taste.
- If adding color...do that now.
Hot tip: Margarine is not a very good substitute. Lard is a doable substitute for half the butter - the flavor is different and careful if adding coloring.
