So simple:
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 lb. powdered sugar
Beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla until fluffy. Slowly add powdered sugar. If you need it stiffer, add more PS. If you need it thinner for crumb coating you can add milk a little at a time until it reaches the consistency you need.
I use this recipe a lot under fondant, and for decorating cakes. Once it crusts you can smooth it with a Viva paper towel just like regular buttercream.

Hi Eileen,
I am also looking for a cream cheese receipe and I will try this one.Can I use it as a filling between cakes? And you can use it under fondant and then cover it? It shouldn't be a problem?
What about putting it in the fridge? OR can i leave it out covered in fondant without any issues?

Migdalia - I've smoothed it with a paper towel. It does crust, but shouldn't crack - of course that can depend on the weather where you are and the brand of cream cheese you use.

Hi everyone,
I use this recipe for cream cheese filling and I love it. I had some questions:
1. Will this frosting hold up on a cupcake? Or will it melt down?
2. Once I make the frosting it is yellowish, is it possible to color it with GEL colours? Just wondering if you have tried it and does it change the taste, or anything that I should be aware of?
Much appreciated!

Meera - I ice cupcakes with it all the time. In fact, these cupcakes have that frosting on them:

I have colored the frosting, and you might get a darker result because you aren't starting with a white, white frosting, so do a little at a time. It takes green really well, but pinks and reds may look more orange.
