Healthier Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

This recipe provides a healthier twist on traditional cream cheese frosting by replacing some of the high-fat ingredients with healthier alternatives. With reduced fat cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup, you can enjoy the same creamy and tangy frosting flavor with less guilt. Use this healthier cream cheese frosting on cakes, cupcakes, or cookies for a delicious and satisfying treat.

Ingredients

• 8 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup powdered sugar

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to beat the mixture until well combined and fluffy. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
3. Once the frosting reaches your desired consistency, it is ready to be used. If the frosting is too thick, you can add a small amount of milk or water to thin it out. Alternatively, if it is too thin, you can add more powdered sugar to thicken it.
4. Spread the frosting onto your desired dessert, such as cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, using a spatula or piping bag. Enjoy!
