  I used 4 ounces cool whip and 4 ounces plain yogurt just to make it a little healthier. It was very good! I also added a couple tsp corn starch to thicken it a bit. - 10/29/10

  Consistency was excellent, but I would rather go with the extra calories and use a reduced fat cream cheese rather than fat free, which tastes nothing like cream cheese. We tried this with powdered sugar which left an aftertaste I didn't like so I wouldn't recommend using that. - 5/11/09

  This is NOT a recipe! The reduced calorie content is dependent on using specific shop brought items.
  Unhelpful to those of us who:
  a) Do not live in the US
  b) Prefer to cook properly from scratch, and not get our food from tins and packets! - 8/6/12

  I will try this recipe this weekend, it sounds yummy. I am always baking low fat ways for my family. I have used the fat free cream cheese with splender but have not tried mixing in the fat free cool whip. Thanks - 2/18/09

  Soooooo good!!! Taste just like the real thing! The only thing I changed was I used about 1/3 of the tub of cool whip and only put 1/4 cup Splenda and added a 1/4 cup sugar. We put it on our whole wheat pancakes! EXCELLENT!!! We loved it! - 6/16/08

  So good! Made this for a low calorie carrot cake, and it made that bad cake taste tolerable! I would also use less cool whip next time, since it is a little runny, and makes plenty! YUMMY!!!! - 5/8/08

  Excellent topper for carrot cake!! Only comment would be to maybe not use all 8 oz of cool whip to get a thicker "cream cheese" feel to it. Otherwise, taste and consistency were spot on!! Definitely refridgerate for best consistency. - 4/7/08

  I used 1/4 cup of Clabber Girl Sugar Replacer for Baking, and full fat cream cheese got good results. I would certainly suggest trying this recipe with your favorite substitutions. - 3/13/08

  Try this with Stevia, splenda is horrible for you, and also with Reddi Wip fat free...tastes better and much better for you. - 9/23/13

  Instead of Splenda, how would Stevia taste? I use Stevia in my cooking. - 6/9/13

  This recipe is fantastic! Made it to frost lemon cupcakes for my girlfriend and she kept sneaking tastes of the frosting. Makes way more than 12 portions! I frosted 24 cupcakes with at least 2T(plenty!) and got about 32 servings total. If you like fruit dip this would be a much lower cal option! - 7/18/12

  Made this recipe and put on top of a banana cake. I cut the cool whip in half and probably would use lite cream cheese next time. Overall it was good but you could tell it wasnt the real thing. - 4/21/12

  Excellent! Next time I will probably decrease the amount of Cool Whip by as much as half to try to get a thicker frosting. Thanks for a great recipe! - 10/17/11

  Really good. It made a bad carrot cake taste a lot better with the frosting. I would eat it by itself but taste better with strawberries. Yummy! - 4/13/11

  Used regular kool-whip with the fat free creamcheese and put it on a reduced sugar chocolate cake. Didn't really mix well with the cake, but it was GREAT by itself!!
  I recommend making it the day before (texture was still the same and easy to spread). Mine tasted better the next day! - 4/4/10

  Didn't think this was that good..maybe I'm too used to full fat and sugar cream cheese frosting, but it didn't add that much flavor/sweetness to a carrot cake recipe that needed it. - 2/17/08
