FAVORITE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Favorite Cream Cheese Frosting image

I just love cream cheese frosting! My delicious tangy and not to sweet cream cheese frosting is wonderful spread on many different kinds of cakes. Sometimes I like to add 2 teaspoons of grated lemon, orange, or lime zest to the recipe for a bright citrus flavor.

MY FAVORITE LOWER-FAT CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

My Favorite Lower-Fat Cream Cheese Frosting image

I don't like the overly sweet cream cheese frostings out there, so this is perfect for me. I add just a small amount of lemon juice to give a more tart taste, but you would never know it was in there. No softening the cream cheese (though you do have to plan ahead with the butter). No whipping to a certain point that occurs for all of ten seconds before it's ruined.

Time 15m

Yield 1 cake's worth, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese, 1/3 fat
5 tablespoons softened butter (I use Smart Balance 50/50)
1 -2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (or more to taste)

Steps:

Beat cold cream cheese (not rock solid, but it means you can use it straight out of the refrigerator) with softened butter and vanilla until combined.
Gradually add powdered sugar that has been sifted after measuring. Continue to add more sifted powdered sugar until you reach a consistency and sweetness that fits your taste.
Add lemon juice.
Enjoy.
