Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese and butter to make the frosting smooth.
Add a drop of purple gel food coloring to offset the yellow tone to make the frosting more white.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour before using.
Freezing: Freeze in a sealed container for up to 3 months. Thaw the frosting in the fridge overnight and then give it a quick whip with your mixer.
