Cream Cheese Frosting

I always have a problem with grainy cream cheese frosting until I found this method through extensive googling. The trick is to use room temperature butter and cold cream cheese. I can't really bring myself to use 2 to 4 cups of sugar for the frosting so this is my own recipe using only 1/2 cup sugar.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup sifted icing sugar
70g butter (room temperature)
8oz packet cream cheese (cut up into small cubes)
vanilla essence (optional

Steps:
1. Beat butter til soft and creamy
2. Add icing sugar and beat till fluffy
3. Add cream cheese and beat till mixed in

If the frosting is too hard to pipe, beat the mixture further or leave it at room temperature for a while and it will soften.
