Ingredients
- 1 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt and creamy peanut butter. Use a hand mixer on medium speed to blend them until smooth and well incorporated.
Step 2
Add the powdered sugar to the yogurt and peanut butter mixture, one cup at a time. Continue mixing on low speed after each addition until the powdered sugar is fully integrated and the frosting is smooth.
Step 3
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, mixing until they are evenly distributed throughout the frosting.
Step 4
Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat the frosting for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure a light and fluffy texture.
Step 5
Taste and adjust the texture if needed. If the frosting is too thick, you can add a tablespoon of milk or additional Greek yogurt to reach the desired consistency.
Step 6
Once the frosting is smooth and creamy, it's ready to be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
