Instructions
  1. Cream the butter, cream cheese and shortening on medium speed until it’s creamy, about a minute.
  2. Add the the rest of the ingredients beat slowly until combined and then beat the heck out of it for 4-6 minutes until it’s fluffy and smooth. You may want to scrape the bowl down halfway through.
  3. Scoop into a ziplock, either with a tip or with the corner of the bag snipped, and get piping.
  4. This will keep for about a week in the fridge and for about three months in the freezer. Just let it come to room temperature and fluff it up again in your mixer before you use it.
