Ingredients

• 8 ounces Low-fat cream cheese
• 1.5 cups Nonfat Greek yogurt
• 3 tablespoons Powdered erythritol (or other powdered sugar substitute)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the low-fat cream cheese and nonfat Greek yogurt.

Step 2

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, blend on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Gradually add the powdered erythritol, one tablespoon at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to ensure no lumps form.

Step 4

Once the sweetener is fully incorporated, add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Blend again for 1-2 minutes until everything is well combined and the frosting has a light and fluffy texture.

Step 5

Taste the frosting and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding an additional half tablespoon of powdered erythritol, if desired.

Step 6

Use the frosting immediately to frost your desserts, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow the frosting to come to room temperature and stir before using if stored.
