Classic Cream Cheese Frosting - Recipe by Laura Vitale - Laura in the Kitchen Episode 201

Put 1 cup of unsalted butter and 8 oz of room temperature cream cheese into a bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the bowl.

Using a handheld mixer, mix the butter and cream cheese until combined.

Slowly add in 4 cups of confectioner sugar while mixing to avoid a mess.

Continue mixing until you achieve a nice creamy consistency.

Add 2 tablespoons of milk and mix until combined.

The frosting will be a little loose at first, which is desired.

Transfer the frosting into a bowl and cover it.

Refrigerate the frosting to set before using it on cupcakes or cakes.
