MY FAVORITE LOWER-FAT CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
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.

- Add lemon juice.
- Enjoy.

FLUFFY CREAMY CREAM CHEESE FROSTING (LOWER FAT/CAL)
I'm a cream cheese frosting lover and have been looking for the perfect lower fat/cal frosting that doesn't taste low fat. After trying many recipes and experimenting on my own I think I've finally come across one that fits the bill. It should come out nice and fluffy and not too sweet (I don't care for overly sweet frosting) although one can always add more sugar. I use two packages of Neufchatel Cheese (1/3 less fat cream cheese). It would probably also be good with one package Neufchatel cheese and one light cream cheese. I wouldn't suggest using both light cream cheese, and certainly would not suggest fat free cream cheese. This recipe yielded enough to frost two 8x11 sheet cakes very thickly.

Tips:
- For a creamier frosting, use full-fat cream cheese that has been softened to room temperature.
- To make the frosting lighter and fluffier, whip the cream cheese and butter together until light and fluffy before adding the powdered sugar.
- Add a little bit of lemon juice or vanilla extract to the frosting for a bit of extra flavor.
- If you are using the frosting to frost a cake, chill the cake before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set and prevent it from becoming runny.
- If you are using the frosting to fill a pastry bag, make sure the frosting is cold enough to hold its shape.
