Buttercream-cheese frosting

Ingredients

• 1/2 stick butter, softened
• 1/4 package of cream cheese/neufchatel, softened
• 1.3 cups powdered sugar
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
  
• 1 tbsp milk

In your Kitchenaid/hands, cream together the butter and cream cheese until completely combined.
Add the sugar (make sure the machine is turned off while you're adding it, and when you turn it back on, make sure it's on the lowest setting. Otherwise you will have a disaster on your hands).
Mix until combined. Add the salt, vanilla, and milk, one at a time.
If the frosting is too loose for your needs, add more sugar. You can't go wrong.

Thoughts: This is actually sort of hard to do in a Kitchenaid because the powdered sugar keeps climbing up the sides of the bowl and not incorporating into the frosting, so you have to keep scraping down the sides. But otherwise, totes awesome. I like the addition of salt, actually. Dan says he might have wanted it less sweet. If you want a frosting that's less sweet, just add less sugar and take out the milk and the stiffness should work out.
