Butter Cream Frosting Recipe
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
- 3 ounces of cream cheese, softened (I use the Neufchatel 1/2 the fat same yumminess)
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 -1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar (aka powdered sugar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (you can use any flavor of extract to match the flavor of your confection)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Frosting Hints:
- If the icing is too stiff add milk/heavy cream in tiny amounts.
- If it’s too thin add more powdered sugar.
- If you add food coloring you will need to adjust the amount of powdered sugar.
- Bribe family members to do chores in return for getting to lick the beaters and the bowl when you are done.
