Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, room temperature ( no subs!)
1 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla ( if possible use clear vanilla)
2 tablespoons whipping cream, unwhipped ( for the best texture use only whipping cream)
3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted ( more if needed, must be sifted)
food coloring (optional)
1 -2 cup cool whip frozen whipped topping, thawed (optional)

Cream the cream cheese, butter, vanilla and the whipping cream until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Add in the sifted confectioners sugar; beat until frosting consistency, (adding more icing sugar or whipping cream if needed until the right consistency is achieved).
Add in food coloring if using.
OPTIONAL; add in 1 cup of Cool Whip frozen topping and beat on low speed with an electric mixer until just blended (add in more Cool Whip until desired texture is achieved).
