Introduction
This is hands-down my favourite vanilla frosting recipe - it is decadently butter-rich, not too sweet and is stable enough to stand out at a party for a few hours without melting. My picky sister gave it her seal of approval too!

Ingredients
-
8 oz (1 cup) high-fat, European style unsalted butter (cultured if you can get it)
4 oz (1/2 cup) cream cheese
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp vanilla extract (use clear to keep frosting white)
4 cups icing sugar
3-4 Tbsp milk or cream, if needed (I use cream)
Tips
The quality of your ingredients matter in this recipe - spring for the high-butterfat butter and full fat cream cheese!
Directions
Beat butter, cream cheese, salt and vanilla until the mixture is soft and fluffy.
Slowly sift in the powdered sugar while mixing.
If frosting is too firm, add cream, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Serving Size: Makes enough to fill and lightly frost a 9" 2-layer cake, 16 servings
