Cream Cheese Frosting/Icing

Cream Cheese Frosting:
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
6 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract*
2 1/2 to 3 cups powdered (confectioner's) sugar

* For additional pineapple flavor, substitute some of the pineapple juice, that was drained off, for the vanilla extract.

In a bowl, combine cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat until smooth and creamy.
