Healthy Cream Cheese Frosting
This is the best healthy cream cheese frosting recipe you will ever try, with just four ingredients and no powdered sugar!
Servings: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese or vegan cream cheese (225g)
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt or silken tofu (180g)
- 1/2 cup unrefined sugar (80g) or 2/3 cup powdered monk fruit (can also sub 1/3 cup pure maple syrup)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (5g)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- 1. Let cream cheese sit at room temperature for up to an hour to soften, so it will blend more smoothly.
- 2. If using granulated sweetener, blend it alone in a food processor until it turns fine and powdery.
- 3. Process softened cream cheese, tofu or yogurt, sweetener, vanilla extract, and optional cinnamon in a food processor or stand mixer, or with hand beaters in a large bowl. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides, and blend until smooth and fluffy.
- 4. Serve right away, or refrigerate until cold for a thicker texture. The healthy cream cheese frosting is also much firmer after sitting loosely covered overnight in the refrigerator.
- 5. Store any leftovers after a day in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
