Whipped Greek Cheese Frosting

Brodie's just celebrated his 4th Birthday. He informed me he wanted a Pirate Cake. So with my task in hand, I was on the verge to create an amazing and healthy frosting for his cake. And I am pretty sure I succeeded!

Whipped Greek Cheese Frosting

Prep time: 12 hrs

Ingredients:
10 oz Plain Fat Free Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 tsp Lemon Juice
2 packets Stevia
2 Cheese Cloths
1 tub TruWhip or 1 tub Cool Whip Sugar Free


Directions:
In a bowl add yogurt, vanilla, lemon juice, and stevia. Stir well to mix.

In a clean bowl fold a cheese cloth in half two times and lay open in a bowl.
Pour the yogurt mixture on top of the cheese cloth.
Fold your second cheese cloth in half two times and place on top of the yogurt.
Place your yogurt in the fridge for 12 hrs.

After your yogurt is firm, place in a large bowl.
Mash the yogurt cheese with a fork to break up.
Add half of the tub of Whipped Topping to bowl and mix with an electric mixer.
Add second half of Whipped Topping and mix for 1 minute.

Your frosting should be thick and creamy.

Keep in the fridge until you are going to serve to keep frosting firm.

Top on Cupcakes, Cakes, inbetween Cookies or Waffles, or use as a nice fruit dip.



Try subing different extracts or juices to your yogurt before placing in the fridge for new icing flavors:
1 tsp Coconut Extract
1 tsp Orange Extract (Orange Meringue)
2 tbls Cocoa Powder and 1 tsp Mint Extract (Mint Chocolate)
1 tbls Lime Extract (Key Lime)
1 tbls pineapple juice and 1 tsp coconut extract (Island Frosting)


Or try Flavored Greek Yogurts (tip: there is a lot of sugar in pre-flavored yogurts, so sometimes it's best to create your own flavor)
