Notes
Make sure to use a block of full fat cream cheese for this recipe. Reduced fat cream cheese and whipped cream cheese (the kind that comes in a tub) will not work.
If your frosting turns out too thick, thin it with a little milk (added 1 teaspoon at a time). If your frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar, or try chilling it.
