Key Lime Cream Cheese Frosting on White Cake

Key Lime Cream Cheese Frosting:

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
8 ounces (1 package) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons key lime juice
1 teaspoon key lime zest or lemon zest
4 to 5 cups confectioners' sugar

To make the frosting:

• Combine softened cream cheese, softened butter, lime juice, and zest in large bowl.
• Beat with electric mixer until light and fluffy.
• Add sugar, one cup at a time, mixing in between. May use between four to five cups of sugar for this recipe, depending on the consistency you want. If it is too thin, add more sugar slowly to the mixture.






I used a regular white cake box mix.  This was such a yummy, summer dessert.
