There are a few recipes that people tend to think are extremely hard to make like frosting – but it is actually really easy to make and it tastes A LOT better than store made frosting
If you want me to make more frosting recipes please let me know – I have a KILLER nutella frosting recipe ( you might just eat all the frosting yourself 😉 )
As you can see there are not much to this recipe – I cannot stress enough to make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature – just leave both ingredients out a few hours before making the recipe
This recipe makes about 8 – 10 oz of frosting – enough for a cake. I love using a mason jar to store the frosting ( it can stay in the fridge for at least a few weeks – it never lasts that long in my house)
From start to finish the recipe takes under 10 minutes and the cost is comparable to what you pay in a store
This recipe is naturally gluten – free
I thought it would be fun to film a cooking video for you 🙂 I will also post the recipe under the video so you can print it out — but I would love if you check out the video it is pretty short
I have more cooking videos on my youtube channel – go check them out HERE
If you make this recipe please make sure to comment on this post and let me know how you liked it – your review will help other readers know if they should make it or not 🙂
Love You All!

Great recipe! I added my own variations though. Instead of vanilla I added 1/4 top of rum extract a dash of allspice and a dash of cinnamon. It was stupid good with gingerbread cupcakes. Thank-you for the recipe!
