In a large bowl, add room temperature butter.

Add cream cheese to the bowl.

Add vanilla extract (optional) to the bowl.

Whip the mixture together using a stand mixer, electric hand mixer, or hand whisk for 3 to 4 minutes until light and fluffy with no lumps.

Ensure both the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for better whipping.

Add powdered sugar to the mixture.
