With only 5 ingredients, the Best Cream Cheese Frosting is minutes away. Why buy canned frosting when homemade tastes so much better!
I believe frosting can make or break a cake. If it is too sweet, it’s a deal breaker. I always try to keep a brick of cream cheese in the refrigerator so I can make this easy homemade cake frosting at a moment’s notice.
It takes less than five minutes to make this creamy gluten-free frosting. It is perfect for all desserts calling for a cream cheese frosting.

Ingredients

- 2 Tablespoons milk
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix cream cheese and butter together until creamy.
- Add Confectioner’s sugar and vanilla, mixing well.
- Add milk in 1 tablespoon at a time.
Notes
- It is so easy to control the consistency of the frosting by the amount of milk used. For a thicker frosting use less milk and for a thin, glaze like use more milk.
- If frosting is too thin, stir in 1/8th cup of confectioner’s sugar at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Gluten-Free Vanilla Extract is delicious in this rich frosting.
