Ingredients

  • 2 sticks unsalted sweet cream butter, room temperature
  • 12 ounces cream cheese (one and a half packets), room temperature
  • 4 cups (1 lb) confectioner’s sugar
  • 3/4 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

  1. First, beat together the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy, a good 5 minutes or so. Next, beat in the sugar, a little at a time. (if you dump it all in at once and power up the beaters… WHOMP! powdered sugar cloud! it’s severely irritating to one’s lungs… as I know from first hand experience…) Finally, mix in the vanilla extract.
  2. et voila!
