Cream Cheese Frosting

The Wholesome Spoon
You know when you have that perfect banana cake, carrot cake, or red velvet cake and you just need...CREAM CHEESE FROSTING! It's so good! I'm not the biggest fan of other frostings because they're just too sweet for me. But this frosting just hits different. Kinda savory, creamy, tangy? It's delicious! I could just dip my finger into this and eat it! Yum!
