Why This Recipe Works

This recipe is a healthier alternative to traditional, super-sweet cream-cheese frosting. It pairs perfectly with our Carrot Snack Cake.

Before You Begin

If the frosting becomes too soft to work with, let it chill in the refrigerator until firm.

Instructions

Process yogurt, cream cheese, vanilla, and salt in food processor until smooth, about 25 seconds, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add sugar and process until incorporated and frosting is creamy and glossy, about 20 seconds.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours until firm but spreadable.
