Cream Cheese Icing
From various ATK recipes including one we recently tested. In 2022, ATK reconfigured this to be less sweet and have more tang. So it's changed. From here. Also, the previous recipe was for 12 ounces of cream cheese, which is 1.5 packages. This calls for just one package.
Ingredients
