For best results, ensure that both the cream cheese and butter are fully softened before beginning. This will help prevent lumps in your frosting. Taste and adjust the amount of lemon juice to suit your personal preferences. If the frosting becomes too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or cream at a time until you reach the desired consistency. This frosting can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-whip before using.
