I read the reviews and agree that extra cream does the trick. I didn't add any water though. I couldn't get my dry ingredients to sift so I just combined them into the bowl anyway. This didn't seem to affect the quality of flavor or texture as it was mixed very well with the mixer. I do advise adding a bit of extra cream as you mix because cream itself thickens up. Turned out very light, creamy and tasty! Will use again.

I am a total novice but WOW, I just found my new easy piece of heaven! Like others I added a couple of table spoons of warm water and extra cream.

I used much more heavy cream than what it asked for and it turned out nice, light, and "airy". I also added some instant coffee to increase the chocolate flavor. I will never buy store bought frosting ever again. The texture and flavor was off the chart!!!!!
