Fantabulous Vanilla Frosting

I use a lot of frosting, I used to just use a simple and basic butter cream version, but it never really "did" it for me. So when I was whipping up a batch one day  I decided to add in a few more elements to my Basic Butter Cream recipe.....and OMG not only was it better but it was fantabulous.

Yes, that is a word...well a word I use A LOT, so to me that counts enough to make it a valid word!

I bet you'll think it's fantabulous too....especially after tasting it!.

Try it I dare you!

This is what you will need.....

• 2 Sticks of Softened Butter
• 1 lb. Confectioners Sugar
• 2 oz. Cream Cheese
• 1/4 Cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 1 1/2 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
• 2-3 Tbsp Heavy Cream

I love a lot of vanilla flavoring in my frosting, so I use more than most recipes do. I have found that the mix of the cream cheese and condensed milk carry the flavor of the vanilla through without it overtaking it, so it works well. and created a sweet, creamy flavor combo that it not overwhelmed by vanilla or cream cheese.

It's like a delicate balance of the three parts, create a must lick the bowl kinda frosting.

In a medium bowl cream together the butter, cream cheese, vanilla extract until it is creamy. Slowly add in the confectioners sugar until it is all combined.

Add in the sweetened condensed milk and then add the heavy cream a Tbsp at a time UNTIL the consistency you desire is achieved. If you don't have heavy cream, you could also use full fat milk. I just prefer the creaminess the fat filled cream adds to the frosting.

Because I don't use a lot of cream cheese n this recipe, the amount I do use compliments the other aspects, creating a creamy, sweet vanilla frosting that is seriously good!

Easy..easy...fantabulous!

Hope you enjoyed this!!!
