Cream Cheese Frosting

Course: Desserts, Sauces, Dips & Dressings
1st Gen Author: Alane Watkins

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup butter (2 cubes)
  • 2 Tbsp vanilla
  • ¼-½ cup heavy cream or evaporated milk
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Cream together cream cheese, butter vanilla & cream/milk until fluffy
  • slowly add powdered sugar until spreading consistency. 
  • add more powdered sugar for a thicker frosting

Notes

I like mine fairly thin for cinnamon rolls….too thin to spread on a cake.  It just seems to spread easier.  I also do a thin layer of frosting on my cinnamon rolls while still hot.  After they are cooled for awhile I add another layer of frosting.   For cake frosting just add more powdered sugar to reach desired consistency.
