Ingredients

Instructions

  • Beat the softened cream cheese with a hand held mixer or stand up mixer until smooth and creamy.
  • Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat on low speed for 1-2 minutes until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Increase the mixture speed to medium and then mix in the whipped topping. Mix for 2-3 minutes until the whipped topping is combined and your frosting has reached your desired texture.
  • Use the frosting immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to use full fat cream cheese in this recipe. 
If your frosting is too thick, gradually add milk until it’s the consistency that you prefer.  If your frosting is too thin, add in more powdered sugar until it’s the consistency that you prefer. 
This frosting is best used immediately but you can refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
