In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 ounces of softened block cream cheese and 1 to 1½ tablespoons of sifted matcha powder. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed for about 2 to 4 minutes until it becomes perfectly smooth and well-blended.

Once your cream cheese mixture is smooth, reduce the mixer speed to low. Gradually add in ¾ cup of powdered sugar in thirds, mixing until just incorporated after each addition.

Next, pour in 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile. Then, with the mixer still on low speed, slowly drizzle in 2 cups of chilled heavy cream.

Continue mixing the frosting on medium to high speed until stiff peaks form, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.

If you accidentally over-mix the frosting and it becomes chunky, simply add a splash of heavy cream and whip on low speed until smooth again.
