Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl using the whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar on low until the powdered sugar is completely incorporated. Scrape down the sides.
- To the cream cheese frosting, add the vanilla and salt and beat until blended. Scrape down the sides. Then, increase the speed to medium and beat until fluffy.
Notes
- Make sure that you use fully room temperature cream cheese for the fluffiest frosting.
- Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl while it's mixing for best results.
- This frosting is great on top of cakes, cupcakes, and cinnamon rolls. Plus, you can use it on cookies.
- Keep the frosting in the fridge to keep it cool and stable.
- This frosting will melt in the heat, so I don't recommend it for summer parties.
