Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature, full fat
- ½ cup Greek yogurt I used plain full fat
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- 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.

Notes
- Use cream cheese at room temperature to achieve a smooth, lump-free frosting.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with another favorite liquid sweetener if desired.
- If frosting begins runny, continue whipping; it will thicken with more beating.
