Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

Ensure butter and cream cheese are at room temperature.

Cream the butter and sugar together using a stand mixer on medium speed until smooth.

Gradually add the powdered sugar while the mixer is on low to avoid a mess.

Increase the mixer speed to medium until everything is combined.

Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of heavy whipping cream to the mixture.

Taste the frosting and adjust if necessary, then mix for about 3 to 4 minutes until smooth and creamy.

For a lighter frosting, consider switching to a whisk attachment.
