Ingredient Amount Calories
Butter without salt 14.2g 102kcal
Cheese, cream 113.4g 397kcal
Sugars, powdered 150g 584kcal
Lime juice 4.79g 1kcal

Recipe Instructions:

4 ounces cream cheese or Neufchatel cheese, softened
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon lime juice, or more depending on resulting thickness of the frosting
1 teaspoon lime zest

If using an electric mixer, simply combine all the ingredients and beat until fluffy and smooth.
If making by hand, cream together cream cheese and butter until very smooth. It will help greatly if the cream cheese and butter are quite soft beforehand.
Add confectioners' sugar 1/2 cup at a time, beating until incorporated after each addition.
Finally, add lime juice and lime zest and beat again until smooth. If the frosting is too soft, add more confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, until frosting is the right stiffness. If it is too stiff, you can add more lime juice a few drops at a time.
