Cheese Frosting

• Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt (if using). Continue beating until combined.

4. Add Powdered Sugar:

• Gradually add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing on low speed to avoid a sugar cloud. After each addition, increase the speed to medium-high and beat until smooth and creamy.
• Adjust the amount of powdered sugar depending on how thick or sweet you want the frosting. If it becomes too thick, add a teaspoon or two of milk or cream to thin it out.

5. Final Mix:

• Once all the sugar is added and the frosting is smooth, give it a final mix to ensure everything is well combined.

6. Use the Frosting:

• Use the cream cheese frosting immediately to frost your cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. It’s also perfect for layering between cake layers.

Tips:

• For a tangier frosting: Use full-fat cream cheese for a rich, tangy flavor.
• For thicker frosting: Add more powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency.
• To make it lighter: If you want a fluffier, lighter texture, whip the frosting for an extra minute or two.
• Flavor variations: You can add citrus zest (like lemon or orange) or a dash of cinnamon for extra flavor if desired.

This cheese frosting is a perfect match for carrot cake, red velvet cake, cinnamon rolls, and more. Enjoy!
