Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese light or regular - not nonfat, at room temperature
  • 8 tablespoons butter at room temperature
  • 4 cups confectioners' sugar sifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5.25 ounces Wilton rainbow chip crunch sprinkles

Instructions

  • Beat the butter and cream cheese together on medium speed until light and fluffy about 3 minutes.
  • Beat in half the confectioners' sugar until combined, add the remaining half and the vanilla extract. Beat on medium 5 minutes until light and fluffy, stopping to check the consistency every few minutes. If it seems too thick you can add a teaspoon of heavy cream or half & half, too thin add a few more tablespoons confectioners' sugar.
  • Stir in the rainbow chips by hand. Use immediately. This will frost a 2 layer cake or 18 cupcakes.
