Gluten Free Cream Cheese Frosting

This frosting is SO delicious I use nothing but this frosting now. It’s so fast and easy to make! It can run a bit thin so let it set in the fridge for a little bit before you use it. You may even be able to add a little bit of cornstarch to help thicken it if it’s too thin for your taste. I have not tried this myself because letting it set in the fridge for a a short time has been good enough for me. I love this frosting. It makes a lot… more than enough for a double layer cake. If you are making cupcakes you can pipe this frosting very easily to frost the cupcakes and they come out beautifully! Enjoy!

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla together until smooth. Add the sugar and on low speed, beat until incorporated. Increase the speed to high and mix until very light and fluffy.
