Ian Young's Cream Cheese Frosting

I altered the recipe due to other's comments: 8oz cream cheese, 4oz butter, 1 cup confectioners sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract. Tastes fantastic. There IS an issue with frosting being too thin, as someone else mentioned, (because of room temp cream cheese and butter), so either refrigerate until cold and if necessary, beat again... Or don't let butter/cream cheese get to room temp in the first place (as per my chef husband)!!

This recipe calls for way too much sugar and not enough cream cheese. I ended up taking some of the mix out and adding more cream cheese. I would suggest using 6 ounces of cream cheese and 1 1/2 cup sugar( maybe even less)

I didn't really like this... It wasn't that dense and the taste was a bit too buttery even though there's cream cheese in it...

I made this as a frosting for some chocolate cupcakes and it was delicious!
