ingredients to make this easy, homemade cream cheese frosting. Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Salted Butter <\/strong>\u2013 Use softened, room-temperature butter so it blends easily and gives the frosting a smooth, creamy texture. Unsalted butter works too, just add a pinch of salt.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plain<\/strong> <strong>Cream Cheese <\/strong>\u2013 Softened, full-fat cream cheese gives this frosting its signature tangy flavor and creamy texture. I like using Philadelphia because it blends really well and has a great consistency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Powdered Sugar <\/strong>\u2013 This sweetens the frosting while giving it enough structure to become thick, fluffy, and easy to spread.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla Extract \u2013 \u00a0<\/strong>To loosen it up a bit and give it tons of flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" alt=\"ingredients for butter cream cheese frosting recipe including salted butter, powdered sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla extract\" class=\"wp-image-173085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled-420x630.jpg 420w, https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled-268x402.jpg 268w, https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled-690x1035.jpg 690w, https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled-150x225.jpg 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled.jpg\" alt=\"ingredients for butter cream cheese frosting recipe including salted butter, powdered sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla extract\" class=\"wp-image-173085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled-420x630.jpg 420w, https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled-268x402.jpg 268w, https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled-690x1035.jpg 690w, https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/laurenslatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/butter-cream-cheese-frosting-ingredients-labeled-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-make-cream-cheese-buttercream-frosting\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Cream Cheese Buttercream Frosting<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This recipe makes enough to frost 24 cupcakes, two 8 or 9-inch round layer cake or one 9\u00d713 cake.

Keep it covered in the fridge until you\u2019re ready to use it. Let it come to room temperature, then give it a good stir before frosting.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Success<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Make sure the butter and cream cheese are really soft.<\/strong> Let both sit at room temperature for several hours so they\u2019re soft enough to blend together easily. This makes a big difference in getting that smooth, creamy frosting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skip the milk.<\/strong> You won\u2019t need any here! The cream cheese and butter give the frosting plenty of moisture, while the powdered sugar helps it stay thick enough for spreading and piping. If it seems like everything isn\u2019t coming together at first, just keep mixing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use full-fat brick cream cheese.<\/strong> For the best texture, stick with full-fat cream cheese that comes in a brick, rather than low-fat or spreadable cream cheese from a tub. The extra fat helps give the frosting that rich, creamy consistency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h-uses-for-butter-cream-cheese-frosting\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Uses for Butter Cream Cheese Frosting<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From cakes and cupcakes to bars and cinnamon rolls, this creamy frosting goes with so many desserts.

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The classic version is delicious on its own, but it\u2019s easy to switch up the flavor depending on what you\u2019re making. Here are a few simple ideas:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chocolate:<\/strong> Add cocoa powder for a rich chocolate cream cheese frosting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon:<\/strong> Mix in a little lemon juice for a bright, tangy flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Different extracts:<\/strong> Try almond, coconut, or another favorite extract. You can also use vanilla bean paste or real vanilla beans for those pretty little flecks throughout the frosting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h-more-frosting-recipes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Frosting Recipes<\/h2>\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-store-cream-cheese-frosting\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Store Cream Cheese Frosting<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Store leftover frosting in an airtight container or cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for <strong>up to 1 week<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For longer storage, freeze it in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag for <strong>up to 3 months<\/strong>. Thaw frozen frosting in the fridge overnight, then let it sit at room temperature until softened. Give it a good stir before using.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#9b51e069\">If you make this recipe, I would really appreciate it if you would\u00a0<strong>give it a star rating and leave your review in the comments<\/strong>!
