Lovely, luscious and perfectly lemony ambrosia. Applied this to the lemon drop cookie recipe on this website. The cookie was OK without the frosting, but was just devine with this frosting. It's nice and tangy with the fresh lemon. Much better than using lemon extract only. The cream cheese imparts a perfectly compatible tang. Could be used to dress up a plain vanilla cake or on an orange cake. Can be used as a glaze by thinning it out a bit with drops of milk. Versatile and delicious.

Delicious! Didn't use the food coloring. Great, light flavor. Tried to frost a white cake filled with lemon curd, but the frosting was too thin to stick to the sides even thought I added more powdered sugar, but it set nicely on the top and was perfect!

This was soooo yummy!! Defiantly a keeper. I only had one Tbsp of lemon juice so i used that plus a splash of lemonade. It was good this way so I am sure it will be better when I actually have the right amount of lemon juice. Thanks!!

This is yummy! I followed the recipe exactly, maybe a bit more lemon juice and frosted 37 cupcakes with a star tip.

LOVE this frosting!! I use it to ice the easy lemon cookies (also on this website). Everyone I make the cookies for raves about them and wants the recipe. Today I'm switching things up a bit and changing the lemon flavor to orange and icing chocolate orange cookies. I think they will be great!!!

I made this frosting yesterday, and used fresh lemon juice and no food coloring (you don't really need it, the color is nice without coloring). The flavor is great, except I think that it's much too sweet. If I make this again, I will use less sugar.

Delicious! This doesn't need any artificial color, it is a beautiful creamy color all on its own. I iced the lemon drop cookies, and they were divine.

I had a boxed white cake and needed some frosting for it (I loathe store bought icing) and decided to try this. It was really really delicious and the perfect amount of lemon taste. Like other reviewers I didn't use the full amount of sugar.

Incredibly good - why didn't I ever think to mix cream cheese and lemon before? This is so rich and creamy and decadent and tart, just amazing.

I thought that this frosting was just delicious. It went on perfectly, and had just a great tang to it. I however, do like lemon flavor alot, so peopl who are not so hip on it, might want to cut back the lemon juice just a bit.

I made some sugar cookies and then made this frosting to go with them. I put the frosting in a separate container (so it could be kept in the fridge) and took it all to work. They were so yummy, not one cookie came home with me,and all of the frosting was gone!!

I didn't put all 2.25 cups of sugar in at the end, it still tastes great. I did put more lemon juice in since I just pulled a bunch of fresh lemons off my tree..mmmmm!
