1 batch of frosting
Author Notes
This frosting reminds me of Mexican hot chocolate - one with just the slightest hint of cayenne and sweetened up with the delicious goodness of cajeta. Enjoy! —Madhuja

Whip the cream cheese and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. You may have to scrape down the bowl a couple of times to make sure that everything is well mixed.
