I am looking for a recipe for cream cheese frosting.
Joanie from Lake Havasu, AZ
Use 8oz cream cheese at room temperature. Also, 6 tablespoons real butter( unsalted) at room temp also. Combine both of those into large bowl. Add 1 tsp vanilla. Mix it well. Add 4 cups of powdered sugar and use a hand mixer to mix well. You can also slowly add ( 1 tsp at a time) milk to bring to desired consistency. You want it thick but spreadable. you can also use more powdered sugar if want a bigger batch of frosting.
