FLUFFY CREAMY CREAM CHEESE FROSTING (LOWER FAT/CAL)



Fluffy Creamy Cream Cheese Frosting (Lower Fat/Cal) image

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:

  • Use a stand mixer or electric hand mixer to beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the frosting and make it light and creamy.
  • Make sure the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature before mixing. This will help them blend together more easily and create a smoother frosting.
  • Add the milk one tablespoon at a time until the frosting reaches the desired consistency. If you add too much milk, the frosting will become too thin.
  • If you want a sweeter frosting, add more powdered sugar. Start with 1 cup and add more to taste.
  • For a tangier frosting, add a little lemon juice or zest. Start with 1 teaspoon and add more to taste.
  • You can also add other flavorings to the frosting, such as vanilla extract, almond extract, or chocolate chips. Get creative and experiment with different flavors to find your favorite.
  • Store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Conclusion:

This fluffy cream cheese frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is perfect for cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and more. The low-fat version of this frosting is just as delicious as the regular version, but it is lower in calories and fat. So, you can enjoy your favorite desserts without feeling guilty.
