Best Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe
My Best Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe is simple to make, has only four ingredients and is delicious on carrot cupcakes.
To me, cream cheese frosting is one of those recipes you need to have committed to memory. The tangy, creamy cheese perfectly offsets the sweetness, creating the perfect frosting recipe – in my humble opinion!
This is the frosting I used on my Best Carrot Cupcake Recipe and Pomegranate Cupcakes. You can also use it on Apple Carrot Bread.
Ingredients
- cream cheese
- unsalted butter
- vanilla extract
- powdered sugar
