It’s as easy as 1,1,1 and 1…
Whether you’re making spice cake, carrot cake, cinnamon rolls, or any of your favorite deserts, this simple yet delicious Cream Cheese Icing needs only 4 ingredients. Here’s how it goes:

1 stick of butter (I guess you could use margarine if you don’t care what your food tastes like)
1-8oz. Block of Philadelphia Cream Cheese
1 Box of Confectioner’s Sugar
1 Cup of Chopped Pecans

Start by taking the butter and cream cheese out of the fridge, and leave them on the counter for about an hour to soften. With an electric mixer on low speed, cream together the butter and cream cheese. Next, add the sugar a little at a time, and mix until well blended. I like to put my pecans in a sifter or fine mesh strainer to get rid of any pecan “dust”; this will prevent the bitter flavor that the dust can sometimes have. Once sifted, add the pecans and give it a final mix. One batch is enough to cover a 9 inch, 2 layer cake, or a large sheet cake. Enjoy!
