4 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
Cream the butter and shortening. Add sugar, then bananas. Mix well. Stir in eggs and vanilla. Blend in buttermilk. Add the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not over-beat.

I bought tons of cream cheese yesterday and I've been thinking of recipes I can make. I really shouldn't have because anything with cream cheese is so bad and I can't keep my hands off it- I'm gonna have to try these! Too bad Jon works in an office with 2 other people.
I have a recipe similar to this that we used to make a lot as kids. It is so yummy. Our frosting was a lemon frosting instead of cream cheese though.
i wanna make these! but is there a substitute for butter flavored shortening? the sound of that just....
Sounds yummy!! I am helping with a baby shower and keep looking at your old blog post of that cutest pink and black baby shower you threw - sooo cute!
