Cream Cheese Frosting is easy to make…
This is a great creamy frosting that goes well with pumpkin bread, carrot cake, chocolate cake, on cookies, or between cookies.
Enjoy!

Quick and easy cream cheese recipe for cupcakes, cookies and really good carrot cake.
Total Time
10 min
Ingredients
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2-3 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I use the real vanilla...I prefer the taste)
Instructions
- With an electric mixer, mix the butter and cream cheese together, about 3 minutes on medium speed until very smooth.
- Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar.
- Keep adding until you get to desired sweetness and thickness.
- Either spread on with a blunt knife or spatula, or spoon into a piping bag to decorate your cake or cupcake.
- Makes 3 cups
- Store in the refrigerator after use.
Notes
- If you want chocolate frosting, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup cocoa, according to how rich you want it.

Thanks Sandy…I do too.
Last night the Captain put a side of vanilla ice cream next to his carrot cake….talk about decadent! He is going to have to add an extra few minutes on the treadmill today! 😉
