The trick to making this somewhat heavy icing light is whipping in lots of air. Make sure you beat it at a high speed for 7 to 10 minutes to achieve a light consistency.

I'm not a huge fan of cream cheese frosting, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so light and fluffy, and it doesn't have that heavy, dense texture that I usually associate with cream cheese frosting.
