• 8 ounces cream cheese*
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 3/4 cups heavy cream, cold
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

1. Place the cream cheese and powdered sugar in a large bowl and beat on medium-low speed until smooth.
2. Turn the mixer down to medium-low speed and pour the heavy cream down the side of the bowl in a very slow and steady stream, stopping every now and then to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula.
3. When all the cream has been added, turn the mixer up to medium-high and whip until the frosting holds stiff peaks.
4. Fold in the vanilla extract, if using.

• For a chocolate version, add 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder in step #1 of the recipe instructions.
