Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting

1/2 (4oz) package cream cheese, softened
2 Tablespoons butter, softened
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoons lemon zest
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

Beat cream cheese, butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest together until smooth and fluffy.

Add confectioners' sugar.  Beat until creamy.

Add more sugar or juice as needed for easy spreading.

Note: I use this recipe with Homemade Lemon Cake Mix. I zest and juice 1 lemon. I use 1/2 the zest for the cake and 1/2 or the frosting. I use 1/3 of the juice for the cake and 2/3 juice for the frosting. However, if I am doing something with the frosting that will not use up the rest of the zest or lemon juice, then just add it all into the frosting.
