I’ll have to give it a try, have you tried it iced? I’m much more of an iced coffee lady.
I'm almost exclusively an iced person and made my husband an iced person haha we go with iced pumpkin spice lattes.

An American co-worker just caught me the corridor and she had pumpkin spice cake. I could not resist. Yum. Yum. OMG, amazing. Cream cheese frosting too. Drool.

I saw some in Aldi today.  I didn't get any because I can't bake anything to eat with it, and I kinda feel like it's probably not 'right'.  Just like how cheesecakes over here aren't right.  And sour cream.

Honestly, it's so easy to make that I wouldn't even risk buying it anyways!

Cream cheese frosting is pretty easy, just mix cream cheese and frosting sugar.  It’s pretty hard to get wrong.

I make a really nice carrot cake with lashings of cream cheese frosting

Yep. Just add it slowly and taste every few tbsps so you don't over sugar it

I should've known that.  I used to make an awesome cream cheese-based frosting that had almond extract in it... it was absolutely amazing.  I put it on a layered chocolate cake that I'd make... <sigh> ... I need an oven.  My husband would love that cake!

I've definitely added extracts to it before as well (depends on the recipe I use). SO good

I make frosting with cream cheese,  butter and a flavoured sugar free coffee syrup. I add some liquid sucralose to sweeten it to my tastes and then I eat it with a spoon.

Variations include adding peanut butter or cocoa powder.

Lidl and Sainsbury's has good sour cream. I don't like Tesco's.

For cream cheese, I buy the full fat curd cheese from the Polish shop.
