My new and improved delicious frosting!!!!

Making frosting is all about not being afraid to try knew things, Its like composing a poem except Instead of turning i in to your English teacher when you have completed  you you can eat its sugary wonderfulness ( on a cupcake on right out of the bowl!!!)!!! So..... I decided If  you can put cream cheese in frosting (who thought of that?) then you should possibly, maybe be able to put ricotta in frosting!!!!!!!!

It was awesome... and because I am such a generous person I will share this amazing, cool, wonderful. and any other word that sort of means those things... cupcake frosting recipe with you!!

INGREDIENTS:

. half of a stick of butter ( softened)
. 4 oz of cream cheese( room temp)
. a quarter to half of a box of powdered sugar
. 2 tsp. of grated orange zest
. 1 tsp. vanilla extract
. half a cup of ricotta ( you can use as much or as little as you like!)

DIRECTIONS:

Cream together butter, cream cheese,vanilla, orange zest, and 1/4 of the box of powdered sugar. Add in ricotta, If the frosting seems to watery or is not sweet enough slowly add in the  other 1/4 box until you are satisfied.

note: I used this of carrot cupcakes!
