[julieinva]

Any one have a recipe? American Test Kitchen had one I really liked, but lost it. Thanks!

Hi Julie, it should be on their site, does it have both cream cheese and whipping cream? Can you be

more specific? I might be able to find it for you.

Hi Julie, I found this icing recipe from ATK on a site with their yellow cake recipe. Does this

sound familiar? (Scroll down site to see the whole cake recipe - It's about 8 listings down).

Cream cheese Icing

* 2 packages of 8 oz cream cheese
* 1 cup of heavy whipping cream
* 1/2 cup sugar

Whip the whipped cream with the sugar to soft peaks.
Whip the cream cheese and fold in the whipped cream.

This is the one I use -- very similar

8 oz. cream cheese, room temp.
1/2 cup granulated sugar (used to use 1 cup powdered sugar)
1 tsp. vanilla
8 oz. whipped topping (I'm lactose intollerant)

Beat the cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Fold in the vanilla and whipped topping.
