For those that said it was too runny - I think they needed to just beat/mix it more. I made a double batch and it took a good 5 minutes (give or take) to get to the right consistency. I made this with my $15 Walmart mixer, so you don't need a "good" mixer as the recipe suggests. I made 2 13x9 white cake mix (added TBSP almond extract to make it taste kinda home-made), layered this frosting in the middle and on top, and topped with sliced almonds and fresh strawberries. I've never had so many compliments!

I put this on an ice cream birthday cake - PERFECT!! The whole cake disappeared. The only change I had made was omitting the almond extract and noone missed it.

This was really good!!!! I like it that it doesn't contain butter or margerine!!! I was going to decorate a cake and relized I did not have confectioner's sugar in my pantry - So this recipe really worked out great! I kept it non-dairy - so I used non dairy whip and tofuti cream cheese. The texture was nice and light and not overly sweet! It also maintained its shape when I decorated the cake (Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie" recipe from this site!) I did add about 2 tsp corn starch - I don't know if it helped or not - but I thought I needed a little something just to maintain the shape. If I were to use this recipe just to frost a cake - I would not add anything. I used lemon extract in place of the almond and vailla extract. I whipped the whole thing for a very long time to get it quite thick. I also added some cocoa powder to a small amount of the frosting to make chocolate frosting. - The texture was obviously asturdier than the origonal recipe - but I did not like the taste. Overall - a fantastic recipe - and I will be using this again!

It turned out very well and held up nicely. A great alternative to buttercream frosting if you want something less sweet.

I made this for a pumpkin cake for Halloween at work, not very sturdy as the recipe title suggests, its best kept in the refrigerator and used quickly. I do have to add however that my coworkers young daughter apologized for eating the frosting off of the remaining cake that was left in the refrigerator... priceless!

The taste of this recipe is a 5-starer. It would be very good to simply cover a cake. However, I would not use this recipe to do any decorating, learn from my mistake. It does warm and and get a bit melty looking.

Came together quickly and easily and held up well at room temperature. With the leftovers, I added more cream and whipped it all together, and it tasted just like cool whip.

This frosting was good, but it had too much of a cream cheese frosting taste. I had left overs and used it to frost a cake about a week later-didn't taste very good.

I made this to top a chocolate cake and then decorated with strawberries. It was delicious and stayed on the cake like cream cheese or butter bream frosting, yet tasted like whip cream. I know I will use this recipe for years to come!

This is now my favorite frosting! It came out light and tangy, with just enough sweetness. I used coconut extract instead of almond because I was using it for a coconut cream cake, and it was fabulous!

This turned out great! It whipped up nice and fast, was fluffy and held up nicely. The only change I made was that instead of almond extract I used lemon extract. You could use any flavor you'd want with great results, Im sure. I will definitely be using this recipe again! :)

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!

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!
