cream cheese frosting

Ingredients:
1 stick Butter
8 oz Cream Cheese
1 tsp Vanilla
1 lb Confectioners Sugar
Directions:
Thaw ingredients. Works best if butter and cream cheese are room temperature! Add butter and cream cheese to bowl for mixer. Blend together. Add vanilla. Gradually add entire pound of sugar. This makes plenty of frosting! I might even try 1/2 recipe next time.
