Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon milk or heavy cream (optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and unsalted butter. Both should be softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure an even texture.
Once all the powdered sugar is added, mix in the vanilla extract and ground allspice. Beat on medium speed until the frosting is fluffy and well combined, about 1-2 minutes.
If the frosting is too thick, add 1 teaspoon of milk or heavy cream and mix. Adjust the consistency based on your preference, adding a small amount of liquid as needed.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, cookies, or muffins. If not using right away, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to come to room temperature and stir before using.
