No need for orange juice, using just the zest gives it enough orange flavor.

Uber easy! I used lemon extract and dried orange peel in mine, plus a little less confectioners sugar (2 cups), a little more cream cheese (4 oz) and it is very nice. Used it atop pumpkin bread. Very easy to make a and tweak to your taste. Thanks!

I added a little more butter and a touch of food coloring. Omitted the nuts and added an orange sugar slice. Yummy!

I loved this frosting! The hubby loves orange. I used it on the chocolate cupcakes with surprise cream cheese filling. Easy and will definitely make again. Thank You OP!

Love this recipe, although I don't add the walnuts and I put it on cinnamon rolls :)

I omitted 1 tbsp of orange juice to avoid it being too runny. Since I was making frosting for cupcakes, I wanted it a bit firm for piping. If I were to use this for cinnamon buns, I'd probably follow the recipe exactly. Great flavor!

I like that this calls for fresh juice and zest and not extract, which can sometimes completely overwhelm white frostings. Like other reviewers, I found it lacking some in the orangey department, but nothing that a little extra zest didn't remedy. The walnuts add a welcome crunch, too, especially on pumpkin spice cake.

Great recipe! I gave it 4 stars because I had to change a lot, but with my changes I'd give it 5 stars! I doubled the cream cheese and the orange zest, halved the orange juice and also added an extra cup of confectionery sugar because it was too runny (probably because of the extra cream cheese). We will definitely make this again! Very yummy!
