Sturdy Whipped Cream Frosting

 I got this recipe on allrecipes.com.  I really love using it for so many things.  It is light and fluffy with a hint of cream cheese. 

1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup white sugar 

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon almond extract (I sometimes use other extracts.  For example when making Strawberry Cheese Cupcakes I use Lemon Extract.)

2 cups heavy cream

1. Combine the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Fit the mixer with the whisk attachment and mix on medium speed until smooth. While the mixture is still whipping, slowly pour in the heavy cream. Stop and scrape the bottom of the bowl a couple of times while you continue whipping until the cream can hold a stiff peak.
