CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
This healthy and easy cream cheese frosting recipe is ready in just five minutes and makes enough to frost the top and sides of one 9-by-13-inch sheet cake. We made this frosting healthy, with less saturated fat and calories than traditional versions, by using reduced-fat cream cheese instead of full-fat cream cheese, using Greek yogurt in place of butter and keeping sugar to a minimum.

Tips:
- Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to whip the frosting until it is light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the frosting, making it smooth and creamy.
- If you don't have a mixer, you can also whisk the frosting by hand. However, this will take longer and the frosting may not be as smooth.
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start making the frosting. This will help it to mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
- If you want a thicker frosting, you can add more powdered sugar. Start with 1/2 cup and then add more, as needed, until you reach the desired consistency.
- If you want a thinner frosting, you can add more milk. Start with 1 tablespoon and then add more, as needed, until you reach the desired consistency.
- You can flavor the frosting with a variety of extracts, such as vanilla, almond, or lemon. You can also add food coloring to create a different color frosting.
- Once the frosting is made, it can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for later use. If you are storing the frosting in the refrigerator, let it come to room temperature before using.
Conclusion:
Fat-free cream cheese frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a fat-free cream cheese frosting that is both delicious and healthy.
