Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 Cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz or 1 Cup of cream cheese, softened 
  • 1 Tb. Vanilla Bean Paste

If your frosting comes out thicker than you’d like, add a little splash of milk or heavy cream until it is your desired consistency! 

If your frosting comes out thinner than you’d like, add a little more powdered sugar until it is your desired consistency!
