I try so very hard to not give low ratings. :-( This turned out just awful for me! Like others, my frosting is not stable at all - not even close! I think if I'd have whipped it any more, it might have turned to butter - it got to stiff peaks - but after it sits for literally 30 seconds, it's soft and won't hold its shape again. I started with ice cold cream - had it in the freezer for 20 minutes before I began - and ice cold bowl and beaters. Room temperature cream cheese. The flavor is alright, but really quite bitter for some reason. New cream cheese, new cream. IF I were to make this again, which I just can't imagine doing, I'd add at least a cup of powdered sugar to the finished frosting to help give it some body; otherwise, I have cupcakes literally dripping with frosting. I honestly don't even think it would do well on a sheet cake. :-( I have no clue how those who took pictures of this frosting actually have any height...
