Perfect frosting for Sam’s Famous Carrot Cake. Everyone loved it! They said they could eat a bowl of it by itself!
Delicious and so easy. Definitely a keeper
Still my go-to recipe for an excellent frosting!! I have been using this recipe for over 10 years and it hasn’t failed me!
Liked it so did my family
Delicious.. Make sure your bowl and beaters are chilled AT LEAST 10 mins along with the heavy whipping cream in the freezer. I used 3/4 powdered sugar & 1/4 granulated sugar mixed well with the cream cheese and salt & vanilla. Whipped my heavy cream first with an extra tsp of vanilla, then cream cheese mixture, then folded the whip into the cream cheese.. The texture was perfect! I used it to frost a yellow cake, with sliced strawberries (that sat overnight in 1/2 tsp vanilla and a lil sugar) which went between 2 – 9″ layers of yellow cake with a thin layer of the frosting as well! My take on strawberry shortcake & it made me proud… Fluffy, not too sweet, and perfect texture to frost with! I will def make this again!
I used more heavy whipping cream
This is my go to frosting! Everyone raves when I use it. So delicious on chocolate cake.
For the first time in my life. I made whipped cream from scratch. This recipe turned out great. Thanks to previous reviews I did not have any issues due to over whipping. I used powdered sugar.
Outstanding!!
Best frosting I ever made!
This was so light, fluffy, not too sweet and held a good form for decorating! The following day the texture was even better. I will be making this again!
I tried to copy the blueberry recipe and It will not print the directions, why? Why post the recipes if we can’t get the directions, just the ingredients?
I love it. It’s just so fluffy! I made as the frosting of my grandmas birthday cake because she’s not a big frosting person. So this will be perfect form here!!!
I love this recipe as it really is stable; it lasts for several days, even with fruit on it. I used mascarpone cheese instead of the cream cheese and reduced the heavy cream to 1 1/4 cups, as I prefer the creamy flavor of the mascarpone rather than the slight tang of the cream cheese. Either way, it’s heavenly.
I didn’t need much so I made half. PERFECTION. Best tasting frosting I’ve had in a long while. Zero issues with it, it set up nicely.
This recipe was great. I added a 1.5 boxes of cream cheese instead of 1 and 2 cups of sugar instead of 1.
This frosting came out AMAZING. Perfect consistency and flavor!
Very sweet I don’t know if it’s just me but taste like cheesecake to me
The first time I made this was with my grandson and we dumped un-whipped whipping cream in the cream cheese mixture. So we made the best of it and beat it till we got to set up. Wasn’t bad even with the mistake. I made it again tonight the right way. Took some of the other reviews advice and got the bowl, beaters, and whipping cream very cold. Came out great again and better.
Best frosting I have ever had!
DELICIOUS
