Can I use cottage cheese instead of cream cheese to make a carrot cake icing?   
I actually used cottage cheese for a pound cake frosting, because I had no cream cheese. I took the cake to church, and everyone loved it. Do not use the same amount of cottage cheese ( use 1 1/2 cups instead of 2 cups), puree the cottage cheese in a blender, then add other ingredients. I chopped strawberries and added them to the frosting, to increase the flavor.
