Cream Cheese Frosting

This is the best cream cheese frosting. It's deliciously smooth and great to use on all of your favorite baked goods — like pumpkin bread, carrot cake, or chocolate cake. It's even perfect on top of sugar cookies or sandwiched between red velvet cookies!

Ingredients

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar

Directions

Beat cream cheese and softened butter in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy. Mix in vanilla.
Gradually add sugar, beating after each addition until incorporated. Continue to beat until frosting is very smooth.
Store in the refrigerator after use.
