Ingredients
1 (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons full-fat milk or heavy cream
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
1. Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature until smooth.
2. Beat the cream cheese and vanilla until creamy and lump-free.
3. Slowly add the milk while mixing until well combined.
4. Add powdered sugar gradually, 1/4 cup at a time, mixing until fluffy and smooth.
5. Adjust consistency with more milk or sugar as needed.
6. Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to frost.
Notes
Soften cream cheese fully before mixing for the smoothest frosting.
Sift powdered sugar to avoid clumps.
Do not overmix after adding sugar to prevent thinning.
Use heavy cream instead of milk for a richer, thicker frosting.
