- 8 oz full fat cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt I used 2%
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add cream cheese, yogurt, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
- Using an electric mixer on high speed, whip all ingredients until smooth, creamy and no lumps left, making sure to pause and scrape down the sides. Should take about 5 minutes.
- Use frosting on a recipe of choice. This amount is anough to frost a 8-9 inch cake or 12 cupcakes.
Notes
- Store: Refrigerate for up to a 1 week. Rewhip before using.
- Freeze: Freeze frosting in an airtight container or up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
- Cream cheese: It is important to bring it to a room T, otherwise frosting will be lumpy. You can use low fat cream cheese but it will taste less creamy. Vegan cream cheese will work, different taste though.
- Sweetener: Any other sweetener of choice is OK.
