Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Low-fat cream cheese
- 1 cup Plain low-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.333 cup Powdered erythritol (or any low-calorie powdered sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt.
2. Using a handheld or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and yogurt together on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps (about 2–3 minutes).
3. Gradually sift the powdered erythritol into the mixture while continuing to beat on low speed. This will ensure the sweetener fully dissolves and prevents clumping.
4. Add the vanilla extract, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Mix on medium speed for another 1–2 minutes until all ingredients are well combined and the icing is creamy.
5. Taste the icing and adjust sweetness or tanginess to your preference by adding a little more powdered sweetener or lemon juice, if necessary.
6. Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or desserts. Alternatively, transfer the icing to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
