Before you begin, you want your ingredients to be at cool room temperature — not refrigerator-cold but not soft enough to spread on toast.
If the cream cheese and butter are too cold, they'll be too firm to mix easily; if they're too warm, your frosting will be very soft and may be difficult to use. Start by beating the cream cheese until smooth. You can also use a food processor to make frosting instead of an electric mixer. Add the butter and beat to combine, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
Beat in the confectioners' sugar and the pinch of salt. Ingredients such as powdered sugar and cocoa powder should be sifted before you add them to the mixing bowl.
Add the sour cream and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Credit: ekennedy. I found that it's EXTREMELY important to cream the softened butter for several minutes first, then I added the confectioners sugar after sifting it first a cup at a time until combined. Then added clear vanilla extract, and for the 4x recipe I only used 1 Tbsp skim milk. Then really important: continue to beat for another 4 minutes!
Came out SO fluffy and light and snow white colored. Extremely easy to frost and pipe decorations. Got a nice crust as well. I had several "foodies" taste it and they gave it 2 thumbs up as well.

Reviews: Most Helpful. One recipe, however, was barely enough to frost ten cupcakes, so keep this in mind for any of your frosting or decorating needs. I used this for coconut cupcakes, so I flavored it with some coconut oil flavoring, then topped with toasted, shredded coconut. I would call this one of the more exceptional buttercream frosting recipes. This is a great buttercream icing recipe. I followed it fairly closely, thought I did add extra vanilla, which then necessitated adding some extra 10X sugar to make up for the extra liquid.
It does not make all that much, so I will prob double it when decorating a cake. It made enough for me to not-over-generously ice 18 cupcakes. Great taste and consistency. This icing recipe is my absolute favorite out of all that I've tried!
The icing becomes more opaque white in color as everything cools down and the sugar crystals harden. The icing can be made in various levels of viscosity depending on the usage but it can never hold its shape as the frosting does.
