I made this recipe for my daughter's Strawberry Birthday cake. My husband loves buttercream frosting (super sweet) while I prefer a light whipped cream frosting (not too sweet). By adding more sugar and using more vanilla instead of the almond extract (we don't care for that flavor) it was the perfect! Without the extra sugar and vanilla (minus the almond extract) it tasted too much like cream cheese, so I just kept adding sugar and vanilla until I got the flavor I was looking for.

This is and EXCELLENT whipped cream Frosting!! The texture is very stable and the taste is heavenly! I used a hand mixer with regular beaters,full fat cream cheese and granulated sugar. It was a cinch to make. I put in a few drops of green dye and it was a big hit at my St.Paddy's party! Thank you Jo-Lynn! This will be my cake icing forever!

I have been searching for a light whipped frosting that will hold up without refrigeration. THIS IS IT!! Delicious, light, and sturdy. I decorated a cake and left it at room temp overnight just to see, and it was still perfect the next morning. Also tried a chocolate variation by adding a little cocoa with the sugar. That too, turned out beautifully. Thanks!

Excellent frosting--I couldn't stop eating it out of the bowl. I want this for my wedding cake.

This was really good! I just made it for my son's birthday cupcakes and it was so easy and not too sweet. Instead of using a mixer, I used my food processor (chopping blade) and it was nearly done by the time I finished pouring the cream in! The processor really cut the time down and is powerful enough to turn your cream into butter, so don't let it go too long!

Wow! I made this for my child's birthday strawberry cake. Totally STURDY. I decorated it on a cake tray and put a glass dome over it.I drove a half hour from home with the AC blowing on it in the front seat (buckled in the seatbelt). It totally held up perfectly. I used chilled softened cream cheese. Everyone was raving and 2 people were fighting over the last piece. Thank you for the recipe.

I was asked to make a wedding cake for a friend on which the frosting was not too sweet. She absolutely loved the flavour. As for sturdiness, I added a package of gelatine powder just before decorating as the cake would be sitting in the fridge overnight, and out on a table for a few hours. Definately a good alternative to supersweet buttercream.

OK as a fruit dip but a bit tangy from the cream cheese. I'd use it on a 9x13 cake with berries but not on other cakes. Not what I was looking for in a whipped cream frosting.

This icing is simply delicious! However, it was not as "sturdy" as I had hoped. Perhaps because I was using a hand mixer instead of the "whisk attachment" mentioned. I will try this again, but will use a chilled bowl, beaters, and won't soften the cream cheese as much as I did. I do have to say that my daughter and nephew completely ignored my cake, and just licked the frosting off!

This recipe gets ONE star, only because the flavor was decent. It was NO WHERE near sturdy - more like a pudding than frosting. Such a let-down.

Super easy to make. I cut the recipe in 1/2 for a batch of cupcakes. I used powdered sugar, but next time will try white sugar as the recipe calls... wasn't as sweet as we would have liked. Would be perfect for a dip for fruit or as a binder for fruit salad.

Wasn't what I was looking for as a frosting, but we used it as a dip for fruit and it was excellent.

We used this frosting on the American Flag cake made with blueberries and strawberries. We also used original cream cheese because that was what was on hand. We took it to a BBQ and everyone wanted the recipe! VERY sturdy compared to other whipped cream frosting recipes. My husband who used to be the cake decorator at our local Safeway was VERY impressed. I would use it as a dip for fruit as suggested also, YUMMY!!!

I just served this frosting on my baby boy's first birthday cake. It was a BIG hit, and in my book is perfect--thicker than whip cream frosting and lighter than buttercreme. A great fresh flavor and not too sweet. I used full-fat cream cheese because the store i went to didn't have reduced fat. This will become my standard frosting.
