Orange Cream Cheese Frosting

This is one of my all time favorite cream cheese frostings. I practically ate half of it before it ever made it on my cucpcakes. I already have the recipe on the site, but Dacia said it was confusing and hard to find... so I'm reposting it separately.
Makes 2 cups

8 ounces cold cream cheese
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon orange extract
2 tablespoon thawed frozen orange juice concentrate

Place the cream cheese and butter in a medium mixing bowl and beat on medium speed until blended, about 20 seconds. Add the sugar, orange zest and extract, and beat to mix. Add the orange juice concentrate and beat until fluffy, about 1 minute.
