Notes about this recipe

  • Zosia on April 24, 2019

    I'm in search of a cream cheese frosting that isn't too sweet, tastes of cream cheese and doesn't have the grit of confectioners' sugar. This one has a terrific texture - grit-free and easy to spread and pipe - and isn't overly sweet but I wish the cream cheese flavour were more pronounced. Still, a huge improvement over most! The recipe makes enough to fill and frost a 9" cake with 3 layers with enough left for simple piped borders. Edit - Family feedback: loved the texture but would rather have a little bit of grit and stronger cream cheese flavour.
