Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Reduced-fat cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt (plain)
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar (sifted)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Place the softened reduced-fat cream cheese into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the non-fat Greek yogurt to the cream cheese and mix until well combined and smooth.
Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed to prevent it from puffing up. Once incorporated, increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and mix for an additional 30 seconds to fully combine.
Taste the frosting and adjust sweetness by adding more powdered sugar if desired. Beat again for 30 seconds if additional sugar is added.
Use the frosting immediately to top cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow frosting to soften slightly at room temperature before spreading if chilled.
