Scale
- 8oz block of full fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1/4 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (I used 2%)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer and beat on medium speed for a few minutes, or until it’s smooth and fluffy, scraping down the edges as needed.
- Enjoy on Healthy Carrot Cake or Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
