FROSTING - Perfect Cream Cheese Frosting

By Aemelia

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup (half a stick) unsalted butter (cold, cut up into 1-inch squares)
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• pinch of salt
• 1 8oz. bar cream cheese (Cold, straight from the fridge. Oh, and Philadelphia is the best. Seriously. Don’t even go near the Neufchatel.)

Preparation

Step 1

Cream the butter. Add powdered sugar, lemon juice, and pinch of salt. If you like, add about a half teaspoon of pure Vanilla extract. Whip until nice and fluffy, but don’t over-whip.

Add the cold cream cheese in tablespoons, and whip together just until the cream cheese is incorporated. Do NOT over-whip.
