Easy, Creamy, Fluffy Homemade Cream Cheese Frosting
I’m not a big fan of frostings. Most of them are just waaay to sweet and completely overpower whatever you put it on. Â However I LOVVVVE this homemade cream cheese frosting recipe.
This frosting is sweet but not overly sweet. I can eat a spoonful without gagging. It’s quick, easy, fluffy, creamy and spreads with ease! I love that I can still taste the cream cheese in this recipe. Once you’ve made this frosting, you’ll realize what an insult store bought  cream cheese frostings are.
Nothing can take the place of a frosting made with real butter baby!!! I use this homemade cream cheese frosting recipe for my red velvet cakes, carrot cakes, ice cream cakes, chocolate cakes and whatever else tastes good with a cream cheese frosting.

Hi! Can I use heavy cream instead of milk? Can’t wait to try!
How much butter is in a stick please? We don’t buy butter by the stick where I live.
8 tablespoons or
4 ounces or
1/2 cup
Equals a stick of butter.
The Internet knows how much butter is in a stick….
How much butter would be in a stick please? We don’t buy butter by the stick here.
If the folks getting a runny result are using margarine instead of real butter, that would cause problems.
If the weather is warm, place the frostingt in the fridge for a couple of hours and it will be improved.
