Cream Cheese Frosting is one of the most simple, delicious and versatile frosting's you can make! It's great on cupcakes, cakes, cookies and spoons! ;)
What you'll need:
-1 8oz block of cream cheese (room temperature)
-3 to 4 cups of confectioner's sugar
-1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
Let cream cheese reach room temperature. Place in bowl of electric mixer. Sift in confectioner's sugar cup by cup. Cream together on medium speed. Add in vanilla, scrape down bowl, mix thoroughly until thick and fluffy. Add more sugar for thicker frosting. Place in refrigerator for 30 minutes if using a piping bag, (this helps stiffen the frosting to better show the design you pipe) otherwise, ice cooled cakes or cookies and enjoy! For more frosting, simply double or triple all ingredients.
*Sweet Tweet Tip: Oh no! Forgot to let cream cheese reach room temperature? No worries, simply place on your stove top surface, above your warm oven, while you bake. (obviously doesn't work if stove top and oven are seperate units.) The heat from your oven will warm the upper surface of your stove top where your cream cheese is, softening it much faster. Works for butter too!
