Ingredients:

• 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 7 tablespoons butter, softened
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
• ¼ teaspoon salt 
  

 

Directions: 

Step1: 

Beat together the cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until creamy. Mix in the vanilla and milk, then gradually mix in the confectioners' sugar and salt until smooth and fluffy.

 

Cook's Notes: 

If your cream cheese and butter are cold, it won't cream well. Microwave each separately for about 10 seconds and they will be soft enough to work with.
