In a medium mixing bowl, combine 4 ounces of cream cheese, ½ cup of confectioner's sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of milk. Blend for about 2-3 minutes until smooth.

Check the consistency of your icing. If too thick, add more milk one tablespoon at a time until silky-smooth.

If too thin, add an additional tablespoon of cream cheese and sugar, whisk until desired thickness is reached.

Optionally add the zest of one citrus fruit and mix thoroughly for an extra burst of flavor.
