Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Low-fat cream cheese
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (non-fat, plain)
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the low-fat cream cheese and non-fat Greek yogurt. Ensure both are at room temperature for easier mixing.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese and yogurt together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition to avoid lumps and achieve a fluffy texture.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, then mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat the frosting for an additional 1-2 minutes to make it fluffy and light.
Taste the frosting and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding a bit more powdered sugar, then mix again.
Use the frosting immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring it back to room temperature and give it a gentle mix before using.
