Tangerine Buttercream Frosting

2 (16 oz.) pkg. cream cheese

1/2 cup butter (a stick or 8 tbsp)

1 cup confectioners' sugar

2 tsp tangerine juice, freshly squeezed

the zest of 2 tangerines

1/2 c. honey

To make the frosting

In the bowl of a mixer, cream the cream cheese and butter together until fluffy.

Add the sugar, juice, zest and honey and mix slowly until incorporated. If you find the frosting is a little thin, you can add more sugar or place in the fridge until it sets to the desired consistency you are looking for. I chilled mine for about 20 minutes.
