Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese cold (right from the fridge) and don't use low-fat
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • 1 pint heavy whipping cream cold (right from the fridge)

Instructions
 

  • 1. Using a whisk attachment on your stand mixer, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
  • 2. With the mixer on slow, add vanilla and heavy whipping cream and beat until stiff peaks form.
  • 3. Pipe onto vanilla (or rainbow!) cupcakes with a large circle tip starting in the center and movie outward to create little "mounds." Feel free to practice on the bottom of a cup until you like how they look. To keep with my St. Patrick's theme, I put a little gold coin in some of the clouds.
