Take your desserts to the next level with Our Family’s Cream Cheese Frosting! This luscious, creamy frosting is a must-have for topping cakes, cupcakes, or even cookies. With just the right balance of sweetness and tang, it’s made with simple ingredients like cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and a splash of vanilla. Chill it for a bit before spreading for that perfect, velvety texture!
Place the cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar into the bowl of a standing mixer. Using a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese mixture on LOW speed until blended (about 30 seconds). Increase the mixer speed to HIGH and continue beating for 5 minutes, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl every 2 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to LOW and add the vanilla. Beat until well blended (about 15 seconds). Frosting will be thick, soft and creamy. Refrigerate the frosting for 1-2 hours until slightly stiff. Use frosting as desired.
