Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Low-fat cream cheese
- 1.5 cups Nonfat Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Powdered erythritol (or other powdered sugar substitute)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the low-fat cream cheese and nonfat Greek yogurt.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, blend on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered erythritol, one tablespoon at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to ensure no lumps form.
Once the sweetener is fully incorporated, add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Blend again for 1-2 minutes until everything is well combined and the frosting has a light and fluffy texture.
Taste the frosting and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding an additional half tablespoon of powdered erythritol, if desired.
Use the frosting immediately to frost your desserts, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow the frosting to come to room temperature and stir before using if stored.
