Glorious Treats Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting

Ingredients:
butter, without salt
cheese, parmesan, hard
vanilla extract
sugars, powdered
cream, fluid, heavy whipping

Directions:
Directions:.
*Place butter in a large mixing bowl and beat until smooth.
Add cream cheese and blend until fully combined and smooth, about 30 seconds.
*Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar and blend on low speed until combined.
Increase to medium speed and beat until it begins to get fluffy.
*Slowly add the heavy cream, a little bit at a time until desired consistency is met.
(Dont add too much if you want the frosting to stay in place when piped on cupcakes.
).
*Beat until fluffy, about 1 minute.
*Use at once or keep refrigerated.
(This frosting will keep well in the refrigerator for several days, but you may need to re-beat it for the best texture.
).
The recipe above will produce a delicious VANILLA flavored frosting, here are a couple of other options to try....
For a Stronger Cream Cheese Flavor: Use an additional 4 oz.
( 1/2 block) of cream cheese.
This is good for any cake/cupcake recipe that is traditionally topped with Cream Cheese Frosting, like Carrot Cake, or Red Velvet Cake.
For Chocolate Frosting: (my favorite!)
add 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa (I use Ghirardelli brand, its really good).
Add the cocoa powder before adding the powdered sugar, so it gets fully incorporated into the butter and cream cheese.
