My favorite type of frosting is of the cream cheese variety so when I saw this recipe on Slashfood touted as being “the last cream cheese frosting recipe you’ll ever need“, I knew I would have to bookmark it for future cupcake usage. The recipe is surprisingly simple:

Beat 8 oz. cold cream cheese (not rock solid, but it means you can use it straight out of the refrigerator) with 5 Tbsp. softened butter and 2 tsp. vanilla until combined. Gradually add 2 c. powdered sugar that has been sifted after measuring. Continue to add more sifted powdered sugar until you reach a consistency and sweetness that fits your taste.

Maybe this will give me a reason to whip up some halloween cupcakes tonight like these cute vampire ones:

Happy Halloween everybody!!
