Servings: 12
- 8 oz cream cheese (full fat) softened to room temperature
- ½ cup Greek yogurt I used plain full fat
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl.
Using a hand mixer on medium speed whip all the ingredients together until smooth and fluffy (about 5 minutes), scraping down the sides as needed. If your frosting is turning out runny, just keep whipping it and it should turn out thick and fluffy. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer.
Use frosting on desired recipe and enjoy. This recipe will yield enough to frost 18 cupcakes or a 8-9 inch cake.
- Maple syrup: Feel free to use your favorite liquid sweetener.
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temp, otherwise it’ll turn lumpy and not as smooth after beating it.
