Sprinkles Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    8 ounces cold cream cheese (recommend Philadelphia full fat, do not use fat free!)
    1/2 cup unsalted butter (not cold, but still firm)
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (I used Vietnamese cinnamon)
    3 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    milk (add in 1 teaspoon increments at the end only if needed)
Preparation
    Using the flat beater in your electric mixer, beat cream cheese, unsalted butter, salt, and cinnamon on medium low speed until smooth and creamy (approximately 2 or 3 minutes).
    Reduce speed to low and gradually add the confectioners' sugar, beating until incorporated.
    Add the vanilla; beat just until mixed.
    Do not overbeat or the frosting will incorporate too much air. It should be creamy and dense like ice cream.
    Add milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, if frosting is not of a spreadable consistency.
