Marsha's Cream Cheese Frosting

This is my favorite cream cheese frosting recipe. I use it on all kinds of things (cake, cookies, bars, etc.). I love it, love it, love it! I hope you enjoy it too.  I have no idea where it came from, but it's great.

Marsha's Cream Cheese Frosting

Ingredients:

• 1 (3-4 oz.) pkg. cream cheese (or half an 8 oz. brick)
• ¼ cup butter
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 cups powdered sugar

Directions:

1. In a mixing bowl beat together cream cheese, butter and vanilla until light and fluffy, approximately 10 minutes. 
2. Add half of your powdered sugar and beat for 3 minutes.
3. Add the rest of your powdered sugar and beat for an additional 3 minutes.
• At this point, if the frosting is too thick, add a little milk or cream until you get your desired consistency. If it is too runny, add more powdered sugar.

Marsha's Notes:

They used to sell 3-4 oz. bricks of cream cheese (sort of little mini-bricks) but now I can only find the 8 oz. kind, so if you want  to use the entire thing, just double this recipe.
