Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

Ingredients:

1/2 C Butter (room temperature)
3 oz Cream Cheese (room temperature)
3 1/2 C Powdered Sugar (or add until you get the consistency you like)
1/4 C Heavy Cream
1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract

Directions:

1. In a large bowl using a handheld or electric stand mixer, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until it is light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
2. Mix in the vanilla and add the powered sugar gradually and mix in fully after each addition.  Keep adding till you get the consistency you like.  Cream at low speed until well blended and creamy.
3. Pour in heavy cream and whip until the frosting is light and fluffy.

*Note: You can substitute milk for the heavy cream, but the frosting will be missing an element of silky creaminess.
