🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup butter

  (softened, at room temperature)
• 8 oz cream cheese

  (softened, at room temperature)
• 4-5 cups confectioners sugar
• ¼ cup lemon juice

  (use fresh lemon, and zest if desired)
• 1 pinch salt

  (optional)

Instructions

• 1 Beat your 1 cup of softened butter and 8 ounces of cream cheese in a large
  mixing bowl with a hand mixer or in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment for
  5 to 6 minutes, or until it all has a light, creamy texture.
• 2 Add in the ¼ cup of lemon juice and lemon zest and mix on medium power until
  well combined.
• 3 Add the 4-5 cups of confectioners' sugar gradually until you reach your desired
  consistency. *Make the frosting thicker if you plan on piping the frosting onto
  desserts.
