Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (brick-style, not spreadable)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 4 cups powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and cream cheese. Use a stand or an electric mixer to beat them until the mixture becomes creamy, well-combined, and free from lumps.
  • Add the vanilla extract and salt to the mixture, stirring thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
  • Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar into the mixture while keeping the mixer low. Mix until the powdered sugar is fully integrated and the frosting is smooth.
