This luscious frosting whips cream cheese and butter into a silky, fluffy base, then gets its signature sweetness from sifted powdered sugar and a touch of vanilla. A pinch of salt keeps the whole thing balanced instead of cloying, so every bite reads sweet, tangy, and rich all at once. Beat it until it holds soft peaks and you'll get that perfect swoopable texture for piling onto cupcakes or spreading thick between cake layers. It's an easy make-ahead, too — stash it in the fridge for a few days and re-whip before frosting. This is exactly the kind of classic, crowd-pleasing topping that fits right into a vegetarian dessert spread without a second thought.
