given to me by Rese Moore


1 lb. of cream cheese at room temperature

¾ pound unsalted butter at room temp.

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

½ teaspoon pure almond extract

1 ½ lbs. confectioners’ sugar, sifted (sifting prevents lumps from occurring in the frosting)



In a bowl of an electric Mixer fitted with a paddle attachment,

Blend together the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla and almond

Extracts. Add the confectioners’ sugar and mix until smooth.



*If you have excess frosting, it freezes real well.
