How to Make the Best Homemade Cream Cheese Frosting

How to Make the Best Homemade Cream Cheese Frosting

For Valentine’s Day this year, I made a (boxed) strawberry cake. But to dress it up and make it fancier than it actually was, I made homemade cream cheese frosting to go with it. The combination of strawberry and cream cheese is a match made in heaven; they compliment each other perfectly!

The frosting was thick and sweet and the perfect consistency. It almost reminded me of the kind of frosting you would find at a boutique bakery. In order to get it just right, you have to follow the ingredients exactly. I have found using any more powdered sugar and it’s too sweet, and using any less wouldn’t taste right.

Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

  • 1 stick butter, room temperature

  • 8 oz package cream cheese (1 brick), room temperature

  • 3 and 3/4 cups powdered sugar

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

  1. Combine butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on low until there are no clumps and the mixture is smooth.

  2. Once it’s smooth, turn the mixer to high and beat for 2 minutes.

  3. Enjoy!
