Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting

also from Smitten Kitchen... this is one YUMMY frosting and a great twist on the usual Cream Cheese Frosting.

1 1/4 C Light Brown Sugar
1/4 C Cornstarch
1/2 C Powdered Sugar
16 oz Cream Cheese, Room Temp
1/2 C Unsalted Butter, Room Temp
1/2 t Vanilla Extract

In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cornstarch and powdered sugar. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add the sugar-cornstarch mixture and vanilla, beat until frosting is smooth and light. Chill the bowl in the refrigerator until it thickens back up a bit, about 30 minutes, then spread a dollop on cooled cupcakes.

I HIGHLY recommend this frosting if you have never tried brown sugar cream cheese frosting. It is a bit runnier than the normal cream cheese frosting, so if you want it to stand high on a cupcake you will want to use a different frosting. I am experimenting on a variation of this that will stand up and be thicker with this same amazing taste - LOVE this frosting!!!
