Ingredients
Scale
- 1 8oz block full fat brick-style cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup plain green yogurt (i like fage 2% since it's so thick)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- zest of 1 large lemon
- tiny pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine all ingredients: cream cheese, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt.
- Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed for a few minutes until smooth and fluffy. The frosting may appear liquidy initially but will thicken with continued mixing.
- Once mixed, refrigerate the frosting for up to 2 weeks. Be sure to refrigerate any frosted items within two hours.
Notes
For best texture, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your preference.
