This was so yummy! I beat the cream cheese and other ingredients very well before adding the whipped cream and it wasn't grainy at all. It didn't turn out runny, but it was a little softer than I would have liked.

This was nice, though not as strong of a cream cheese taste as I would prefer. To prepare, I whipped the cream cheese/sugar mixture for several minutes (to aerate the cream and dissolve the sugar), then removed from bowl, more or less, and added the very cold cream. I whipped the cream and then folded the two together. I noticed that after chilling, the frosting held up very well. I frosted the cake with chilled frosting. I am going to make this again, and I do agree that powdered sugar (1 3/4 cups or so) would be even better for stability.

I love this frosting! It tastes perfect with pumpkin cupcakes, and I can't wait to try it on some carrot cake! The only recommendation I have is letting the cream cheese warm up a bit before blending.

This recipe is so simple but so perfect! I followed the recipe exactly and the consistency was just right. Creamy and not too sweet. I used it to frost my carrot cake and it was an instant hit. Thanks!

This frosting was excellent! Very light and fluffy. I used orange extract in place of vanilla and it was phenomenal! However, like other reviewers noted, the consistency was not as stiff as I would have preferred.

GREAT taste - I had people tell me they loved it even though they normally never eat frosting/icing. I had no problems making this, and I followed the recipe exactly. It took gel food coloring well (I added the color while whipping the cream). The consistency was just a bit loose even after letting it sit in the fridge for an hour or so after making it, so I'd use it for simple frosting jobs and maybe piped swags or borders, but not for anything intricate like roses. The flavor is really what sets this apart from a typical frosting - light, airy, and just the right amount of cream cheese flavor. Will definitely make again, thanks!

Absolutely Fabulous! The key is to really whip stiff peaks in the whipping cream, takes about 5 minutes and then when you add everything together, mix until smooth! Takes a little longer than you think, those clumps everyone gripes about will smooth out! I gave my 10 month old a sample when I was done, and he went crazy with excitement! He couldn't get enough! Got wonderful reviews from others too.

This recipe was o.k. Like others have said, the frosting was way too soft. Because others cautioned about this I used this as a filling, rather than a frosting. It was still just too soft.

I didn't have vanilla so I used almond extract and the taste was great. i also used Z-sweet instead of sugar so mine didn't dissolve, but it still tastes good. I love the consistency and the little tangyness the cream cheese gives it. Very yummy!
