CREAM CHEESE PECAN FROSTING

CREAM CHEESE PECAN FROSTING


1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup (1-stick) butter, softened
2 ½ cups confectioners sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans


In a medium bowl, with an electric beater on medium speed, beat cream cheese, butter, confectioner’s sugar, and vanilla. Increase speed to high and beat 1 to 2 more minutes, until frosting is smooth. Stir in pecans until thoroughly mixed. Use immediately. Or cover and chill until ready to use, allowing it to softener again when needed.

NOTE:
Make sure to use a thin layer of this frosting. That way, you’ll be able to see the color of the cake under the frosting.
