The trick to making this somewhat heavy icing light is whipping in lots of air. Make sure you beat it at a high speed for 7 to 10 minutes to achieve a light consistency.

Steps:
- Cream butter and cream cheese in a stand mixer. Add salt and vanilla. Slowly start to add powdered sugar at low speed.
- Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated, turn mixer to high and whip for at least 7 minutes or longer, scraping sides. If the icing seems too thick, mix in a tablespoon or 2 of the milk or cream.
