⅓ cup butter, softened
1 ¾ cups confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon cream

Tips:

  • To ensure a smooth and lump-free frosting, make sure the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature before starting.
  • Use a stand or electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to whip the cream cheese and butter together until light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes on medium speed.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, while continuing to beat on low speed. This will help prevent the frosting from becoming too thick or grainy.
  • Once all of the powdered sugar has been added, increase the mixer speed to medium and beat for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
  • For a sweeter frosting, add an extra 1/2 cup of powdered sugar.
  • For a tangier frosting, add an extra 1/4 teaspoon of lemon juice.
  • For a creamier frosting, add 1/4 cup of heavy cream.
  • For a more flavorful frosting, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract.
  • For a colorful frosting, add a few drops of food coloring.
