Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to facilitate smooth mixing.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, place the low-fat cream cheese and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until it is smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Gradually add the powdered sugar, about half a cup at a time, beating well after each addition to prevent lumps and to make sure the mixture is smooth.

Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the bowl; continue beating until everything is well incorporated.
Step 5
Add the non-fat Greek yogurt to the mixture and beat on low speed until the frosting is smooth, well-blended, and reaches a spreadable consistency.
