Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter. Beat together using an electric mixer or whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese and butter mixture, mixing on low speed to avoid a sugar cloud. Once incorporated, increase speed to medium and continue to beat until fluffy.

- Taste the icing and adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary, to reach your desired thickness.

- For a variation, you can add a pinch of cinnamon to the icing for extra flavor.
- If the icing is too thick, add a little more milk; if too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar.
