Cream Cheese frosting

I'm always looking for a cream cheese frosting recipe for my cinnamon rolls.  We don't like the powdered sugar frosting as much.  Here is the one I use!  I found it on the Food Network website.



INGREDIENTS:
4 ounces unsalted butter, softened
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS:
In a large bowl, beat together the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer.  With the mixer on low speed, add the powered sugar a cup at a time until smooth and creamy.  Beat in the vanilla extract.

Mix all ingredients together until light and fluffy, scraping bowl often. Add food coloring if desired.
