THE BEST CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

This is the BEST Cream Cheese Frosting you will ever make. If you’re lactose intolerant, don’t worry, I’ve made this with lactose free cream cheese and butter and it tasted exactly the same. This frosting is so light and fluffy and guarantees to be devoured. It is also very versatile. You can add any kind of berry puree to it, lemon or lime juice, and even alcohol!
