The Best Cream Cheese Frosting

Don’t you just love that term….”The Best”?  It is extremely subjective and does beg the question, “In whose opinion?”, but it makes a better title than

My Family Really Likes This Icing on Cake

So, I give you The Best Cream Cheese Frosting…

I use this icing on Italian Cream Cake and Red Velvet Cake.  (Although, the last time we made Red Velvet it ended up being a Trifle.)  This icing only uses four ingredients and whips up in less than five minutes…literally.  When you can make homemade in that amount of time, why not give it a try?  And I promise it’s better than the can and think of how “accomplished” you’ll feel knowing you made it yourself! 

Here’s the Recipe:

• 1 8oz package cream cheese – at room temperature
• 1/2 stick margarine – also at room temp
• 1 box powdered sugar (or about 3 3/4 cups)
• 1 tsp vanilla 

In a large mixing bowl, beat margarine and cream cheese 

Add powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth

That’s all there is to it!  Quick, Easy and Delicious!

***If you are using this with the Italian Cream Cake (or any other 3 layer cake) I’d recommend making 1 1/2 recipes.  One recipe will make enough to cover, but it’s pretty thin and I had to really work at getting the sides covered…that’s why there’s only a picture of the top and one side***
