Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 8 oz block full fat cream cheese*, softened to room temperature
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Unwrap cream cheese. Slice into pieces and place in a medium mixing bowl for 1 hour to soften.
- Once softened, add maple syrup, peanut butter, yogurt and vanilla to mixing bowl.
- Use a hand mixer (electric beaters) to beat frosting for a few minutes on medium speed and then medium high until well combined and fluffy. It will start off looking very thin and will thicken as you beat it. Store in the refrigerator.
Notes
* Do not use whipped cream cheese or the kind in the tub, as they have more moisture and may yield runnier frosting.
This recipe yields 2 heaping cups of frosting, enough to frost an 8x8 pan of brownies.
