cream cheese icing for carrot cake

[littlebrownmouse]

How do I make it? Seem to remember its cream cheese, icing sugar and either grated orange zest or orange juice.... Anyone got any idea of quantities of each or shall I just throw things in a bowl and hope for the best?

I use 4 oz cream cheese, 3 sifted tblsp of icing sugar (and by tablespoons, I mean the large serving spoons) and the rind and juice of an orange.

ta housewife. Just waiting for it too cool then will adorn it with your icing. mmm

I use about 140g full fat Philly (light just goes all thin...) with an equal amount of icing sugar beaten in, and a scant teaspoon of almond essence. Mmmm

thanks tickle but housewife wins so far, I'm not an almond fan!

You're welcome, enjoy!!

might just try the orange one next time

Am taking it to work tomorrow as its my birthday. I've made triple ginger spice cake from Good Food mag too.

(Tongue hanging out of mouth emoticon) Sounds deeeeevine!! Yum.

I do:

2 Tbsp softened butter
60g cream cheese
125g icing sugar
grated rind of 1 lemon

I might try the orange one next time too!
