Ingredients
- 1 cup Powdered peanut butter
- 4 ounces Fat-free cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the powdered peanut butter and Greek yogurt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and free of any lumps.
Step 2
Add the fat-free cream cheese to the bowl. Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer on medium speed to blend until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
Step 3
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the mixture. Beat on low speed initially to avoid a sugar dust cloud, and then increase to medium speed. Mix until everything is fully incorporated.
Step 4
Add in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix on medium speed until the icing is smooth and homogenous.
Step 5
Taste the icing, and if you'd like it sweeter, add a little more powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
Step 6
Once satisfied, chill the icing in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before using. This will help it firm up slightly, making it easier to spread or pipe.
Step 7
Use as a topping for cakes, cupcakes, or any dessert of your choice. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
