Total 00:15
Yield 4 cups (750 g)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (225 g) block-style cream cheese, cold
  • 1 stick (113 g) unsalted butter, cold
  • 3½ cups (425 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. 1
    Put the cream cheese in a bowl and mix just enough to smooth out lumps. Do not overmix. Set aside.
  2. 2
    Cream the butter in another bowl until smooth and creamy.
  3. 3
    Beat in powdered sugar in 3–4 batches. It may look crumbly at first, but don't worry—it will come together into a ball, like a dough.
  4. 4
    Beat in salt and vanilla.
  5. 5
    Add all of cream cheese and mix in until smooth. Do not overmix, as it can make the frosting runny.
