This is another staple recipe that I have used on the blog a couple of times now. I think this is the perfect balanced cream cheese frosting that isn't so heavy.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Heavy Cream
8oz. Cream Cheese, softened and room temp
1 cup Powdered Sugar
Pinch of Salt
INSTRUCTIONS
With a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, whip your softened cream cheese until smooth. This should take about 2-3 minutes on medium speed.
Slowly add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese, beating continuously until fully incorporated and smooth. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is well combined. Add the pinch of salt and mix until combined.
Slowly add the heavy cream to the mixture. Continue to mix on medium speed until the frosting becomes light and fluffy. Be careful not to overmix. The consistency should be thick and hold its own.

It is the perfect frosting for layer cakes, cupcakes, sheet cakes, or any sort of dessert you want some frosting with!
