This healthy and easy cream cheese frosting recipe is ready in just five minutes and makes enough to frost the top and sides of one 9-by-13-inch sheet cake. We made this frosting healthy, with less saturated fat and calories than traditional versions, by using reduced-fat cream cheese instead of full-fat cream cheese, using Greek yogurt in place of butter and keeping sugar to a minimum.

MY FAVORITE LOWER-FAT CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



My Favorite Lower-Fat Cream Cheese Frosting image

I don't like the overly sweet cream cheese frostings out there, so this is perfect for me. I add just a small amount of lemon juice to give a more tart taste, but you would never know it was in there. No softening the cream cheese (though you do have to plan ahead with the butter). No whipping to a certain point that occurs for all of ten seconds before it's ruined.

Time 15m

Yield 1 cake's worth, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 ounces cream cheese, 1/3 fat
5 tablespoons softened butter (I use Smart Balance 50/50)
1 -2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (or more to taste)

Steps:

  • Beat cold cream cheese (not rock solid, but it means you can use it straight out of the refrigerator) with softened butter and vanilla until combined.
  • Gradually add powdered sugar that has been sifted after measuring. Continue to add more sifted powdered sugar until you reach a consistency and sweetness that fits your taste.
  • Add lemon juice.
  • Enjoy.
