Description

A quick and healthy cream cheese frosting that is naturally sweetened, smooth, and ready in just five minutes—perfect for cakes, cupcakes, or fruit dips.


Ingredients

  • 200 g cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)

Instructions

  1. Place the softened cream cheese in a bowl and mix until smooth and lump-free.
  2. Add the honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt.
  3. Mix until creamy and well combined.
  4. If the frosting is too thick, add milk gradually, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  5. Use immediately or chill slightly for a firmer texture.

Notes

  • Add lemon zest for a fresh citrus flavor.
  • Mix in cocoa powder for a chocolate variation.
  • Reduce or skip milk for a thicker consistency.
  • Chill before piping for better structure.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
