Step 1

Add cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium high speed for 3-4 minutes, stopping to scrape down the bowl and whisk as needed, until smooth (it will be very thick).

Step 2

Add the heavy cream to the mixing bowl in 3 additions, mixing on medium low speed until combined. Then scrape down the bowl and mix on medium high speed for about 1 minute until thick and frosting holds medium peaks.

Step 3

Use this frosting on cakes, cupcakes, etc. Leftovers should always be stored in the fridge.
