Fluffy Small Batch Cream Cheese Frosting
Small batch cream cheese frosting is one of my favorite toppings for cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, brownies, cookies, and more! It's super easy to whip up in a few minutes, and you need just 5 ingredients. Also, I've been using this recipe for over a decade, and it's always a hit. The icing is fluffy, creamy, tangy, and not-too-sweet!
Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Add the unsalted butter and cream cheese to a medium mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whip attachment, beat the butter and cream cheese until the mixture is smooth.
- Step 2
Using a fine mesh sieve, sift the powdered sugar into the cream cheese mixture and beat until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Mix in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Step 3
Turn the mixer to medium-high and beat the frosting for another 2-3 minutes, until it's very fluffy. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate, or use it right away on cupcakes, cookies, cake, etc.
