- 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)
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.
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. Keyword Cream Cheese, Cream Cheese Frosting, Frosting
