Answer 2

Yes you can use either margarine or real butter, whatever you like. 6 ounces cream cheese 6 tablespoons butter or margarine 1 tsp. cream or milk 1 teaspoon vanilla 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted Have the cream cheese cold and the butter/margarine at room temperature. I know often, recipes recommend having the cream cheese at room temperature to make it easier to mix. This is an option, but the consistency will not be as desirable. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, butter/margarine, and vanilla until blended. Add one half of the sugar, then slowly continue adding and beat until smooth and the desired consistency is reached. Resist the temptation to over beat! It will quickly lose the perfect consistency if you over beat. If desired, stir in additional flavoring to taste. Here is another one you can try 8 oz. cream cheese 8 ounces margarine 1 tsp. vanilla ( I love using almond extract for variety) 1/2 tsp lemon 16 oz. powdered sugar Beat together, margarine, sugar, and vanilla. (Considering that this frosting is typically spread over hot rolls, I don’t worry about consistency as much and stick my cream cheese in the microwave for 30 seconds to soften it first.)
