Great Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe. Used it on the Coconut Cloud Cake yesterday - the cake was a big hit! I agree with some of the other reviewers. Half of the amount for powdered sugar is plenty. My suggestion, add small amounts of powdered sugar at a time. Stop at desired taste. I used a little less than 1/2. Happy baking!

I have made this frosting a few times and it always turns out great. I don't use quite all of the sugar the recipe calls for, too sweet for me. This time I turned it into a carmel cream cheese frosting and used it on an apple cake recipe on this site and it was spectacular. I used a 1/2 cup of brown sugar and melted it in a pan with 8 tbs of the butter and let cool, then added to the butter-cream cheese mixture before adding the confectioners' sugar ( I used a little more than 2 cups).

I love that frosting. It is a huge hit every time I make it. I like to spread it on banana cupcakes, it is delicious.

Ditto. I added all the sugar and by half way through it was the perfect consistency so I should have stopped there. By the time I added the whole 2lbs it was difficult to beat and the cream cheese flavor was covered by the flavor of the sugar.

what kind of cream cheese do you use? I used mascarpone and it turned out really thick and heavy. (I live in europe) Thanks
