Making Cream Cheese Frosting

This really couldn’t be much easier, but heck, a couple of photos can’t hurt, right? Just combine all your ingredients in the bowl of a mixer with the paddle attached…

…and beat for about 45 seconds until the frosting is smooth and uniform.

You might need to scrape the bowl once to make sure all the ingredients are well combined. If you notice small lumps — and if you look closely you can make out a few — just keep beating. For a completely smooth frosting, a food processor works even better.
