Ingredients
  

  • 224 Grams Block Cream Cheese, Softened to Room Temperature (1 Block)
  • 115 Grams Butter, Softened to Room Temperature (1/2 Cup)
  • 360 Grams Confectioners' Sugar - Powdered Sugar (3 Cups)
  • 4.2 Grams Vanilla Extract (1 Teaspoon)
  • 1.5 Grams Salt - if using unsalted butter (1/4 Teaspoon)
  • 80 Grams Milk - if frosting seems too thick (1/4 Cup)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine butter and cream cheese with a hand mixer until well combined and free of lumps.
  • Add vanilla extract (and salt if needed) and stir to combine.
  • Gradually add powdered sugar and use the mixer to stir until smooth.

Notes

If your frosting seems too thick for spreading on your bread, feel free to add 2 to 4 tablespoons milk and mix until smooth. 
Don’t feel obligated to use all of the cream cheese frosting, if any. You can save time (and calories) by whisking 1 cup powdered sugar with 1/4 cup milk and a dash of vanilla to create a simple drizzle.
