  • 1/4 cup Butter (4 tbsp), room temperature
  • 2 3/4 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 2 Tbsp Milk

Instructions

  • Combine cream cheese and butter into a bowl and mix until smooth and combined.
  • Add in 1 tsp vanilla, 2 Tbsp milk, and 2 3/4 cup powdered sugar. Mix to combine until smooth.
  • If planning to pipe, cover the frosting and place in the fridge for 60 minutes to allow it to firm up. Before piping, pull frosting from the fridge and give it a quick stir.

Notes

Depending on how soft your butter and cream cheese are, you may need to add a little more powdered sugar or milk to get to the desired consistency.
