The Ultimate Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting


The beauty of this frosting is that it is mild in sweetness balancing nicely to truly appreciate the simplicity of a soft and buttery cream cheese topping.  No single ingredient over powers the others; they work in perfect harmony to make the ultimate cream cheese frosting.  If you want a stiffer or sweeter frosting simply add more sugar, but it is absolutely perfect the way it is.  

The Ultimate Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting

2 x 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups confectioners sugar, sifted

Cream together the cream cheese and butter until fluffy.  Add vanilla and beat in.  Slowly add in the sugar and continue beating until well combined and soft.  Spread over cooled cake.
