Most frostings are full of butter; sacrifice the fat but not the flavor with this alternative. (Well, kind of.) Yields 1 1/4 c. frosting.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1/4 c. unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa
  • 3 tbsp. low-fat milk
  • glass containers
  • plastic wrap
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 c. powdered sugar
  • rubber spatula
  • 4 oz. Neufchatel cheese
  • Glass Containers
  • Plastic Wrap
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Plastic Wrap
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 c. powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp. low-fat milk
  • 1/4 c. unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa
  • 4 oz. Neufchatel cheese
  1. Step 1

    Stir together powdered sugar, cocoa and milk in a heatproof glass container. Stir until mixture is smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Cover container with plastic wrap and microwave on high until mixture boils and rises to the top of the container. This should take about 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Put the Neufchatel cheese in a glass bowl. Microwave the cheese until it softens, about 10 or 20 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Stir cheese with a spatula until very smooth.

  5. Step 5

    Stir in some of the hot cocoa mixture, then slowly add the rest of it, stirring until smooth.

  6. Step 6

    Add vanilla and stir in well.

  7. Step 7

    Let frosting cool until it is spreadable.

Tips & Warnings
  • Frosting will keep in the refrigerator one week, or in the freezer three months. Soften and stir until smooth before using.
  • Neufchatel cheese can usually be found near the cream cheese in the supermarket. In fact, you could use reduced-fat cream cheese, too.
