Cream Cheese Frosting

I needed a cream cheese icing recipe for the carrot cake I was making, because no carrot cake is complete without cream cheese frosting. I found this recipe online and decided to give it a try. It was perfect and quite possibly the best cream cheese icing I've ever had. I didn't need to make as much as the recipe calls for, so I cut the recipe in half when I made it and it still made a lot of icing. :)

2 8-ounce packages of cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups sifted confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and butter until creamy. Mix in the vanilla, then gradually stir in the confectioners' sugar. Store in refrigerator.
