Calories: 130kcal
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (226-gram package)
- ½ cup salted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
Instructions
- Using either a stand mixer fitted with a wire whisk attachment or a medium-sized mixing bowl (2-3 quarts) and a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, mix the softened cream cheese and softened butter for 2-2½ minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Continue mixing until well combined and no streaks of vanilla remain.
- Lower the mixer speed to medium-low. Add the powdered sugar ½ cup at a time, mixing well after each addition until your frosting is smooth and creamy.
Notes
- The beauty of this easy cream cheese frosting is that you can make it in advance and store it in the freezer until you are ready to use it.
- Make sure you use room-temperature cream cheese so you don’t end up with lumps in your creamy frosting.
- If your kitchen is on the humid side, you will need to sift the powdered sugar to remove any clumps.
