The Best Cream Cheese Frosting

I know, I know, everything says “the best” and I wouldn’t normally claim that title because something that tastes really good to someone might taste awful to another person. BUT I truly think that this meets all the requirements for a perfect cream cheese frosting!

It’s not too sweet, it’s SUPER creamy, it’s pearly white color is so pretty, and it goes well on almost anything (you know what I mean)!

It’s so easy to make and only takes about 5 minutes!

I love to use this frosting on cinnamon rolls, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin cupcakes, carrot cake, red velvet cake, etc. Honestly you could just eat it by the spoonful or make a dessert dip with it! The possibilities are endless with this delicious frosting!
