Simple Cream Cheese Frosting Recipes
SIMPLE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
A very simple, quick, and easy version of cream cheese frosting that's as smooth as a baby's bottom. Incredibly versatile - you can add any flavors or colors, and use this for frosting the entire cake as well as piping by simply changing the consistency with less or more sugar. GREAT with chocolate cakes.

Steps:
- Mix cream cheese and butter on low speed using either a stand or hand mixer until well mixed and smooth.
- Sift sugar. This is very important to avoid small sugar lumps and achieve a very smooth frosting.
- Add sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well in between each addition. Stop when you get the consistency you desire.
- .
- At this point, you can use as is or add flavorings 1 tsp at a time until you get the desired taste. Any kind will work well with this frosting.
- Cocoa mixes well into this for chocolate cream cheese frosting. Start with two tablespoons and go up from there, a tablespoon at a time, until you get the level of chocolate-ness you want.
- Or color it: Since this frosting is almost snow white, you can add any color you like.
- And if it's too sweet for you, add a bit of salt to counteract that. You can really do whatever you like with this one.

PERFECT CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
I found this on the howtoeatacupcake blog. I haven't tried it myself but the reviews were great. Here are some tips: To have perfectly smooth cream cheese frosting with enough body to spread in dramatic swirls or even pipe through a pastry bag, you have to know these two secrets. First, overbeating breaks down the cream cheese, and produces grainy looking frosting that is too soft to hold a shape. Second, cold (not softened) cream cheese produces the best texture in both of our methods. Have the butter, if you use it, at the temperature recommended for the method you choose, and sift the powdered sugar after measuring.

Steps:
- Food Processor Method.
- Have the cream cheese cold. The butter can be cold, but preferably at room temperature, 68 to 70 degrees F. Combine cream cheese, butter, vanilla and sugar in a food processor and pulse just until smooth and creamy. If the frosting is too stiff, pulse for a few seconds longer. Do not overprocess. If desired, stir in additional flavoring to taste.
- Electric Mixer Method.
- Have the cream cheese cold and the butter at room temperature. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until blended. Add sugar one-third at a time and beat just until smooth and the desired consistency. If frosting is too stiff, beat for few seconds longer. Do not overbeat. If desired, stir in additional flavoring to taste. This keeps, refrigerated, for about 1 week. Or freeze for up to 3 months. Soften and stir until smooth before using.

Steps:
- Beat the softened butter to a soft and even consistency. Add the orange juice, if using, then the icing sugar. Cream until you have a smooth, soft buttercream consistency.
- Add the cream cheese and work it in - don't beat it in, just slowly mix with a wooden spoon. Depending on how soft the mixture is, you may want to put it in the fridge for 10 mins at this point. If it's runny, it will firm up again. It should be spreadable and not run off the cake.
