How to Make Awesome Cream Cheese Frosting
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely melted.
- In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with an electric hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add 3 cups of powdered sugar, alternating with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, beating on low speed until combined. Then increase speed to medium-high and beat for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Cover the frosting and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to firm up slightly.
- Remove from the refrigerator and beat again briefly before spreading onto your favorite slightly warm cake or cupcakes. Enjoy!
