It is a very good frosting. If you would like it a little thicker use confectioner sugar in place of the white sugar.

Great!!! Very light and fluffy. Next time I will try adding more cream cheese to make it a little thicker.

This is my new favorite frosting!!! It makes enough to frost a layer cake, so easy to spread, and tastes delicious! You must make whipped topping out of the heavy whipping cream or the frosting will be runny, so chill a bowl and some beaters, then beat until thick like cool whip. Then beat in the remaining ingredients.

delicious! I like it because it's firmer than using plain whipping cream and much tastier than a cool whip topping!

I loved this recipe!!! Followed previous reviewers' advice and did the following: Used 2 cups powdered sugar instead of granulated, 1/4 tsp almond extract, 3/4 tsp vanilla, chilled the bowl and beaters for whipping the heavy cream; had cream cheese at room temp; after mixing together both cream mixtures put in refridgerator to chill for an hour, then took it out and mixed in food coloring, chilled again and then piped it out on cupcakes using a star tip and turned out BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks for sharing.

I didn't really care for this recipe. I followed the directions exactly, but the frosting was way too runny, even just spooning it onto my cupcakes was nerve-wracking as it started to run off the edge. After realizing the recipe was a dud, I added an entire additional package of cream cheese, which firmed it up a tiny bit, enough to at least get it on the cupcakes and then stick them in the fridge so it could harden. I also had to add a ton of extra vanilla to get it to taste like something other than just cream cheese. It's O.K., but I won't use this recipe again, mostly because of texture.

This was very good, but it was a little grainy from the sugar. I think next time I will replace the sugar for honey. It isn't a frosting that you can pipe, but it's just an easy topping for a quick sheet cake!

It was whipped as promised but not as great as I had hoped. Tasted a bit strange...maybe because I paired it with a cake that did not turn out so great either.

I made this to go on a the Gelatin Poke Cake. I had some whipped topping I needed to use up, so I used that instead of heavy whipping cream. Since whipped topping already is sweet, I cut back the sugar to 3/4 c. It is good for just spreading on a cake, not sure about the piping.

This was awesome! A flavorful yet light icing. Not too sweet. I used this on a yummy chocolate cake and everyone raved about it. I cannot attest to the piping quality but the icing was fairly thick making it just as instructed, not runny for me at all. I did cool the mixing bowl before whipping the cream and beat the cream cheese first as earlier suggested. This will be used on many cakes of mine in the future, I guarantee it!

Delicious on carrot cake. Exactly what I was dreaming of. I used exact measurements and followed other's advice to ensure proper consistency and it turned out great! Winning tips: - Chill a SMALL bowl and whisks in the refrig or freezer for 10 mins. - Whip the cream BEFORE beating the creamed cheese (ensures no traces of creamed cheese or oils in your whisks) - Return the whipped cream to the refrig while you beat the creamed cheese/sugar - When done icing cake, put cake in refrig to set.

When I first made this icing, I wasn't sure if I would like it because it really tasted too strongly like cream cheese. BUT once I frosted my cake and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight, it was fantastic! Just what I was looking for. I iced a double layer white cake with strawberry puree in it and topped with strawberries for a strawberry cake.

Wow.. My measurements were a bit off because I was using what I had on hand; 8oz of heavy cream whipped and then I added just about 1/4 cups sugar into the cream, whipped it and then threw in about 10oz. of whipped cream cheese and continued blending in same bowl.. I didn't add any vanilla because I like the flavor of cream cheese! Very good on my poke cake... Thanks!

This was fabulous! I can't stand cream cheese frosting or heavy frostings so it is great that the whipped cream makes the frosting so light. Maybe I got lucky but I just followed the instructions and it turned out great! I didn't have to chill anything special. The directions didn't specify any speed for the whipped cream and that was what I was worried about since I had never made it before. I just whipped the diddly out of it until the stiff peaks formed. :) I was a little afraid of it collapsing from my folding but, really, it held together very well. Only thing was, I found it really difficult to spread. Maybe I was just afraid of it because it was so light but even trying to pipe it didn't work well for me. So, yes, it was the ugliest cake I've ever made but the taste soooo makes up for it. :) Thank you for the great recipe!

This is awesome! I made it using powdered sugar instead of granulated. I frosted carrot cupcakes with it. The consistency was fine for spreading it on cupcakes. It is light and not too sweet. Others reported the consistency being too thin, but by adding additional powdered sugar it could be thickened up. I had no problem with the consistency, but I beat the whipping cream a bit more than stiff peaks, but more like fluffy butter. My family LOVED this.

I liked the taste. It was lightly sweetened, smooth and a hint airy with a strong enough dose of cream cheese. I felt it was fairly easy to make too. Initially, the frosting was grainy from the granulated sugar, but keeping it in the fridge for a day or two smoothed it right out. I was also told that the frosting was really soft when in room temp but really hard out of the fridge. (I only made and ate the frosting. Didn't frost it.) Here's a tip, if you can, whip the whipped cream while making the cream cheese mixture because it took a while for the whipped cream to whip. But keep an eye out for it! I would definitely make and eat this again.

I think this is a very good frosting, maybe just not that firm for piping purposes, though. I only substituted confectioner's sugar (1 3/4 c), used it on a chocolate bundt cake and garnished with fresh strawberries. I cut the cake in half and put some frosting and strawberries in the middle, and did the same on top. Everyone liked it, mostly because it was not excessively sweet, thanks for the recipe !

This was good, but not great. The flavor is nice and light, but it is too thin. I frosted a single layer strawberry cake, but I wouldn't use it on a layer cake or for piping.

I was looking for a frosting for a cake I made for a good friend, as she doe not like buttercream frosting (shocking!) I saw this one and thought it would be perfect. Cream cheese flavoring, but nice and light, not too heavy. It is easy and quick to put together and tastes absolutely fabulous! I couldn't be more pleased! I doubled this recipe for a 1/2 sheet cake and had plenty to spare. Kids can spread on graham crackers to use up the leftovers! Quick and tasty treats.
