I adore cream cheese icing. It is not just for carrot cake. I love to homemade double chocolate cookies with it as well.

Thanks for this recipe. I love carrot cake and all I was missing was the frosting. Hubby has been away all week. This will be a nice surprise for him to come home to.

I love cream cheese frosting and I especialy love and enjoy homemade ones. This recipe is a little different from mine and it sounds like it will be even better, so I can tell you I will be saving this and giving it a try.
