Ingredients
  

Frosting Base
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer texture.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened Ensure butter is at room temperature.
  • 2 cups powdered sugar Sift for a smoother consistency.

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter together using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
